I was referring to coins submitted to ICG as opposed to those found on bourse floors and on Ebay. Of course most ICG coins encountered now will be...
Is anyone of the same opinion that I am regarding the above service? I think they are more consistant than both PCGS and NGC and are just as...
I have limited experience. What I have noticed as far as gold goes is that NGC seems less strict than PCGS for hits/marks and but cares more about...
I did lose a little more on some generic saints. 5 common fours came back as 3's. And of course about 1,500 bucks in regrading. All in all I did...
I do pay taxes and write off my expenses when I sell on ebay. I think you only have to pay taxes(at least that is what i was told by an...
Follow Up PCGS Grading Experience Well, I guess the members are correct here. About the only thing consistant about PCGS is inconsitancy. I...
Much Better Picture!! I was way too hard on the coin in the other pics. It's does look like an MS coin. The top parts of the letters L and I in...
I would go with 25. I find these hard to grade though so this is just my entertainment for a sunday evening:smile
Looks like about a 40 to me. I don't know if it can be graded with the rim damage though.
I think it's 10-12. But I don't collect this series. They are hard to grade IMO because some have no date with less wear and some have a solid...
I really think it looks more like a 30. I hate grading from pictures but it seems there is too much hair detail missing for a grade of 35.
I would say 58. It may be the pics but the coin looks to have slight wear and too many marks for a MS coin.
I would say the obverse is good 4 and the reverse is AG3. If submitted it should get a 4 as the obverse should carry more weight.
I would say it's a 35 and that is probably what is on the holder. The hair detail look a bit flat to be XF but I mostly collect gold.
I would say 35-40. I don't like to net grade. I guess it's up to you if you purchase the coin but I would not count on making it look better.
I was guessing 65 before looking at the grade. I think the spots may have even been there when it was graded. PCGS seems to care more about hits...
I tried but I really don't care for either of them. It's a common date Philly. You could find a really nice certified MS63 for around 30 bucks....
Looks like a solid 45 to me and does not look like it had FSB's IMHO.
Is there any way to ship your coins to third party graders that will ensure they won't get damaged in transit. Most tell you to send the coins in...
It could be the strike. When I look at slabbed coins I tend to focus mostly on luster and hits and sometimes overlook the strike. When I look at...
