MS-65 before I saw the reveal. These coins coins consistently come nice. Low grade ones are unusual.
My perception was that they were very inconsistent. People upgraded coins from PCI grades to higher ones in PCGS holders. Other times their grades...
Reading that makes me think that the dealers who know that they are submitting problem coins do so without the Gold Shield. If that's true, PCGS...
