Because the '38s are most often very nice, just like yours. You'd havea harder time finding time finding one that graded 63 than you would finding...
Ya know, what a lot of folks on here consider an attack, and what I consider an attack - are two entirely different things. Criticism is not an...
I woulda bet $100 you were gonna post a '38. I'll tell ya right now, you'll be hard pressed to get it graded better than 65, 66 tops. And I don't...
Go back and count how many people made similar comments as him Paul. There's a lot.
No but he has a valid point. Normally stuff like this would not be allowed here. The only reason it is, is what I explained.
Your best bet is to post pics of the coin and let us see it. But yeah, everything matters. It's got to have a good strike, booming luster, few if...
So host your images on Photobucket and then post links to the pics here. That will allow everyone to see them full size.
Well Mike I'm still waitin, you gonna pick this apart or not ? :D In the meantime, here are some more links to coins that the TPGs considered...
Normally it would be. But I am a firm believer in allowing discussion of or criticism of the site, or myself, to be allowed to continue right dead...

Those are flow lines that were not polished out, Different cause, different thing entirely. But they do look similar.
As seen side by side - as I said, no comparison. In the one image the lines stop at the edge of the device, in the other they are clearly on the...
I have to disagree Dick, there's not even any comparison between the two.
Yeah, it has happened here.
Coins that are known for specific strike characteristics, like the O mint Morgans having weak strikes, or the S mint Morgans that were mentioned...
OK, now look closely at those lines. The only reason they exist in that placement is because those portions of the devices are so shallow to begin...
No, it isn't possible. The zinc plate sits in a table that spins the plate at a high rate of speed. The die is held in something like a drill...
Yeah, I did agree that those wer elikely die polish marks. But they are not up on the device, merely to the edge of it.
If you were trying make fakes and pass them off, which do you think you would have an easier time of selling ? Which coin would be looked at the...
Here are several images of die polish lines. In not one instance do the lines appear on the devices, and they never will - because they can't....
