Man, I tell you PCGS is getting really generous in its grading of coins. I have a 1803 large cent that my local dealer only considers to be F-12...
Nice coin. Nice price. Beautiful surfaces and great eye appeal. Did you score it on Ebay? VF-25
In my opinion, none of those coins look nice enough to earn a grade of "About Uncirculated". Which company graded those?
They may not know what they are doing. But the "buying public" sets the fair market value for these coins. And if they are willing to pay...
Let's start grading it: I'll say... Fine 12 details Scratched
That is DAMAGE! :D Still it could make for a "filler" for someone's album. Your coin does look way nicer than that one. I don't mind damaged...

LMAO :D
How are TPG able to grade these coins as AU or MS? Aren't these ancients all coins that have previously been encrusted and thus have some degree...
Good 4 details scratched
That PCGS graded coin looks awful. There's some funky residue on the reverse too. PCGS probably should have body bagged it. Your 1909S...
My 2008 Redbook lists the coin at $165 in F-12 and $340 in VF-20. So one grade better seems to make quite a difference price wise. Btw, I paid...
MS-60 cleaned (I'm not certain it has been cleaned but when in doubt I say "cleaned"...that's what ANACS does)
clembo, I'm in Lake County too. And yes, the property tax increases have infuriated everyone in this county. Did you attend the last coinshow in...
some additional opinions would be appreciated.
