And anyone who suggests the market is fixed and unchanging is making a mistake, IMO. Markets change. Collectors change. The only thing that...
Not sure how you could grade this one higher than 65 with that spot, but you never really know what they looked like when they went in....
As for the coin posted by RLM. Sure looks like a 67 to me. But knowing how stingy PCGS grades at this level, if I was forced to guess, I'd...
Baha, IMO, NGC and PCGS do not use even close to the same standard for 66 and 67 coins. Said a bit differently, NGC slabs many coins as 67 that...
3, but hard for me to say what they did with that cheek mark. Not very confident.
Tom nailed it. The first coin's "problem" is a mint-made defect, and TPGs don't take these into account as problems unless they are very major....
Coin looks a bit more hazy in the full-slab photo, and I wonder if that's what caused the lower-than-expected grade. Regardless, that's a coin...
No, I simply think he suffers from an extreme case of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect The above, I think,...
I'd be happy with that grade too, if I owned or were selling the coin, but not so much if I were a buyer. ;) Congrats on your grade. FWIW, I...
BS I protest! lol
EAC grade: XF details, SCUD, net VG 8. Large cents collecting, by most standards, is all about planchet quality -- and this coin has little to...
I guessed 45, but wouldn't be surprised at a 50 either.
I could see anywhere from a 3 to a 5 on this coin. Photos aren't good enough for me to grade more accurately. I guessed 5, but am not...
Where's Ruben when you need him. :)
What kind of envelope is it? On a related note: I was looking at my coins during my yearly inventory over the weekend. I've got some nicely...
At first glance it does appear to be undergraded, however, it's tough to tell if the cheek is toned or if there's a bit of rub there. I suspect...

58 for primarily apparent field luster impairment and the confirmation of some high point rub.
If the rest of your collection equals that coin, I think you will do just fine as a collector. Nice start! Keep doing what you're doing. Be...
Be careful, you can't judge your coins against these crappy hazed POS coins. If you were to crack that coin and send it in, I think it would come...
