The 1939 reverses are not considered varieties per se, as they are design changes so I don't think you will find them in a reference for...
The reverse could go as high as MS65 with very nice surfaces, luster, and eye appeal, but the obverse is going to hold the grade of this coin...
I think the SLEC method falls apart in the circulated grades. For XF and below, luster is taken completely out of the equation. In the lower...
The TPG's job is to create a stable market for coins based on consumer confidence in their ability to correctly grade coins, not dumb things down...
After reading this thread, I'm inclined to think that they are grease as pointed out by both Mark Feld and the Heritage cataloger. And while I...
Why not? I think it would provide a window into why the TPGs grade the way that they do. And we aren't asking them to provide the analysis that...
I didn't post a top pop modern so why would you be referring to them? And there isn't a PR63 on the planet that even approaches that coin. At...
I don't collect circulated coins of any type. But classifying my proof IHC as "silly" & "only worth something because of the plastic" solely...

I find it hilarious that a guy who self admittedly hasn't collected coins for over a decade presumes to know more about TPG grading practices than...
Nobody said your writing was good.
Wow, I didn't know you were a fiction novelist.
And how do they do that Doug? Write a memo to all the graders "guys, submission is down, add a point to all your grades." More likely is that...
I used to have an NGC Registry Signature set called the Roosevelt Blues, guess you know which one I'm picking. You should add a poll to the thread!
So much for the inconsistencies of the TPGs
So you bought it as a circulated coin, sent it in for grading, were fortunate to get an uncirculated grade and are presenting the coin as...
I'm no longer torn.
MS64. The reverse is MS65 quality but the obverse will usually determine the grade on Morgans and this obverse has a banged up cheek and a huge...
