For some reason, PCGS graded ASEs are known to milk-spot quite often. It's not covered under their "guarantee"... :( If you are really into ASEs...
I'm 35, I don't think I qualify as an "old dog"... :D
Here we are, 18 pages of replies, and not one iota of evidence these will be anything more than the next "US Mint Flop"... If this is the "coin...
As long as PCGS and NGC have existed they have used MS64. They didn't suddenly invent it mid-game. Sure, it wasn't used by dealers in the 70's,...
Yawn.
NCLT is by definition legal tender. Even though it may not be used as money, it legally can be used as money and is thus a coin. You can't just...
A change in grading standards is not the same as a change in a grading system. I understand you are extremely negative with regard to TPGs, but...

Come on! :rolleyes: When did they change their fundamental grading score in the past? As far as I know it has been the same 70 point system...
It will never fly. Has been discussed on several forums in the past week to 10 days. Talking about something, and asking companies and dealers...
I would say XF45. Nice looking coin for $8. :)
Please send me a Private Message (PM) if interested in any of the coins or if you have questions. See this link for terms of sale and links to...
I am really happy with this ex-Yarm collection purchase. It took 4 years to make its way to my collection from when yarm sold it to a PCGS board...
Doug (@GDJMSP ), that rarity chart you quote is NOT from 1649. [IMG] It is from a book called The English Silver Coinage from 1649 first...
I think you mean, eBay buyer to block. You were the seller.
I seriously doubt either company truly completely "masks" the grade...I mean, what are we talking here -- a Post-it note? Humans are inquisitive...
I can't believe this thread is still getting replies...carry on...o_O
It looks to be original and quite lovely. At $46 it's hard to go wrong on a purchase like that. Congrats.
Um, I have heard this repeated many times, but haven't seen much evidence of this. PCGS slabs tons of hideous ASEs that NGC wouldn't even touch....
Send it to PCGS. They may still slab it...hahaha. I have seen many damaged bust halves in their plastic lately. :D ;)
