I certainly think there would be more consensus about the full steps if viewed in hand. I would expect most people who saw this coin in hand to...
When I submitted it for grading I was expecting MS66 +* 5FS
Grading is subjective. That is plain to see from the votes in the poll which are all over the place. There is absolutely no consensus when it...
Look closer, and you tell me.
Does this photo show the luster any better? [IMG]
If you think what I posted was nonsense, then post your rebuttal. Truth, what truth? You haven't posted anything that challenges any of my...
Oh no, you ain't getting off that easy Chris. You voted MS67 5FS and I am holding you to it. Your subconscious thinks this coin is the bomb....
Not sure why the photos are so small. Maybe this will help. [IMG]
You had me in the first sentence, then you lost me. The TPGs give us one grade for our money. There are four different criteria for grading...
Guess the assigned grade of the 1945-D Jefferson Nickel graded by NGC shown below and vote in the attached poll. [IMG] [IMG] As always, comments...

The argument that I made about strike can easily be made about high point friction. Almost all St Gaudens double eagles exhibit friction on the...

I have to admit, I didn't want to be the first person to say that coin is overgraded, but I completely agree. I like the toning, but that his a...
I'm shaking my head that you actually think the intention of the Indian Relocation Act of 1830 was to commit genocide. There is a difference...
While that seems like a very easy solution to the problem, I promise you that it is not. The problem is complex and both sides have valid...
I'm sorry Bugo, but you are engaging in a little revisionist history here. If you lived in the South during Jackson's administration, would you...
It would seem that the overall look of this coin has stabilized! [IMG] I just took this photo and not much has changed over the last 2 years.
It would be pretty easy to make the argument that the answer to that question should be YES. One such argument would be that if you viewed a...
