Not talking about a collector. I said someone clueless. No numismatic experience but wants to "invest" in coins and finds a seller that gives them...
Look. If the probability of having a fake is .00125 and you have 100, then the probability of having at least one fake slab in the 100 is 1 - (1 -...
There's a lot wrong here. He's saying 0.125% of slabs are fake. If you have 100 slabs (or rather, for every 100 slabs) it is still 0.125%...
Nope.
Nope, they aren't flaws at all. That's where you're getting it wrong. They are just differences. Calling them flaws is entirely subjective. Let's...
I disagree. It's one of the best examples of "flawed" dies producing perfect coins that you can find in US numismatics. That they are private...
I also agree with the above statements. A coin that is "as struck" that is also not an error coin is by definition not flawed, and it does not...
Useless without pictures.
Oh. That's not on you though. The buyer was just clueless. You're good.
I don't understand the point of this thread. Winning bid amounts, buy it nows, and offers have always been handled separately from shipping costs...
My first impression is a 40, and I voted 40, but it's on the high end.
I agree. What we do now doesn't make much sense. If AU is always 50-58 exclusively, then there is no benefit to saying AU55 over just saying 55...
Clearly, technical grading better describes the level of actual wear, but when it is at the expense of providing a meaningful grade as a...
The dots under the neck are likely from pitting (typically rust) on the die, which transfer to the coin as raised bumps that look exactly like this.
I'm saying if you think the faintest wisp of wear magically reduces a 70 with dripping luster and eye appeal to spare down to a 58 - a staggering...
You're completely missing the point. Why did Sheldon develop the original grading scale? The purpose, as I'm sure you know, was NOT to determine...
Again, these are guarantees for the grade. The designation is not the grade. There is no policy for recovery of losses for a designation change is...
Nope. You always get stuck on this same thing. The point of the grading scale is not to identify the amount of wear. The point of the grading...
Market grading is an attempt to correct the obvious flaws in the Sheldon scale. I have a problem with calling an MS65 an MS67 (gradeflation), but...
Something being missed here is that they didn't regrade the coin, they did a designation review for the PL designation. The grade (MS64) stayed...
