I bid on the below auction at Heritage. I'm aware it's has some spots but I paid well below market. I know it's not a stunning coin but is this...
I love the toning on that coin. I can see how some may prefer no toning but if there is toning on a coin I certainly would say that most would say...
Do you think it looks solid and problem-fee for an MS66?
Jim, What do you think of the two saints below. The links go to some pretty high-quality pictures. I'm new to collecting and was wondering if...
I don't think they look "horrible." I may have exaggerated a little bit. The reason I purchased them was because non-spotted 1922 PCGS MS65 saints...
It it just me or does this coin deserve an MS67? I think this coin is absolutely stunning. If the slab were not there what would you grade it? I...
Copper spots on gold are considered to be a sign of authenticity and originality I agree with the above statement but it obvious the gold coins...

Does anyone have any ideas in terms of HOW each service grades in terms of what each looks for? GDJMSP mentioned ng being stricter in terms of...
No worries. My point was that I don't think it's outrageous for any TPGS to make a mistake like what happed in my case. Perhaps with very...
Forgive I had a generic $10 gold indian slabbed by PC as a 62. I thought it looked more like a 64(sometimes you can't see everything when a coin...
I know were all aware of the war between the two services. Most agree that they prefer PCGS(I do for two reasons.......resale value and better...
For modern coins, there should not be any disturbances with under 5x. But with older coins all grading services are more lenient. I have a Morgan...
I have learned the "easy way" that i'm not going to make a living playing the crack out game. I did ok this time but it's pretty much the same as...
