TPG's having a different standard for pedigree coins!~ OH please, tell me it isn't so!
Do you really expect posters to believe that David Hall and his comrades would take the fall for what the ANA did? It wasn't the ANA standards...
My sentiments exactly Clembo! If you noticed, I graded that coin F12 also for the very reasons you stated.
My grade is F12.
Silly? When I pay someone for their "professional services", I expect professional service, not an attempt to satify the stockholders.
First off, a "predisposition" in the case of TPG's means an inclination in advance of their actions. "Bias" is a prejudice which is a preconceived...
Dear Arizona Jack, There is no "predisposition" involved, and it's not "bias". My distain and contempt is based on facts and I usually back my...
I must be from another planet. IMO, NGC should have told him to accept the 63 grade or send it somewhere else. So is it a 64DPL, a 63PL or a...

It all depends on whose standards you want us to apply. DH claim that PCGS' standarde are tighter than NGC. According to the CDN, coins of the...
Dr Sheldon would say that the 70 point grading system was designed for 1793 through 1814 large cents, not Peace Dollars. All that aside, you got...
"Why did PCGS not bodybag this coin?" PCGS and the rest of the TPG's will do whatever they want because they have the majority of the collecting...
One of the books that should be on the top of every new collectors list is Scott Travers' COIN COLLECTORS SURVIVAL MANUAL. There is a dark side to...
Hi Becky62, Welcome to the coin talk board. I'm sure you will find this board more "coin" related that over on the C&PM board. What does the...
Because it's no big deal to buy and crack out the ANACS coins and reslab them in NGC holders. Why do you suppose CAC needed $25 million in seed...
"Am I wrong in interpreting the Sheldon system of perfection for a perfect coin as one without numismatic flaws, whether those flws occur during...
The 1819 Quarter also has die cracks going through the top on the 1 in the date and another through the bottom of the 11th star.
FWIW, I agree that the 1832 Half is an O-122. The 1819 Quarter is a B-3 and is the most common variety.
Slabs do not have to be tampered with in order to contain a fake coin. PCGS slabbed 95 fake coins (that we know of) and the only reason they were...
Aslanmia, You need to take the responses with a grain of salt. The TPG's are not transparant so the only people who really "know" what is going...
