PCGS defines it as a grade.
I would love the world coin pack, so I'm entering. While I do think the porcelain coin is cool (and one of the best condition ones I've ever...
Ahh, so under the NGCX scale, would a MS61 coin be closer to a 5.0?
Yes. The “regrade” option is for existing coins (maybe earlier gen holders) that the owner wishes to have an upgrade on. Personally, I would feel...
It says they crack it out and grade it raw: “The ‘Regrade’ service applies to coins that are already encapsulated and graded by PCGS. If a...

Ahh, that makes sense. It was sold to me as a BU coin, so eh.
I tried to show the edge, as I really have no idea. Edit: Looked into it a bit more. Could it be a cud?
Just curious, for the second half of the comment, is that due to specific wear on the coin or generally softness (San Fran coins, in general, but...
I grasp that. This was so much easier with my Samsung. I took photos with my Nikon, but now realize my laptop has no sd port.
I don’t know what happened with the rim. There doesn’t seem to be any issue with the edge. There are two long stretches that would make this...
