So do I. And to be honest, I think they do too. I think the reason you see a few coins with the dark toning graded so high is because the coins...
Possibly, but I rather doubt it.
Conder's book was sold out years ago. Your best bet to get one would probably be on ebay. He is working on a second edition though. But if the...
Yes, mechanical errors happen, but that was no mechanical error. That was a plain old fashioned screw up and nothing else.
Fair market value for what a genuine coin of the same grade would be.
OK Chris, I'll ask a different question then. Is any coin deserving of a 70 ?
Depends on if it is ugly toning or pretty toning. Pretty is a good thing, ugly a bad thing.

Yes, some do deserve to be graded 70.
Unh huh - but, if you look it up in their grading standards it will say - as close to perfect as it can get - or words to that effect. Even the...
Based on what you posted Matt, that one changed in the slab. So I'd have to say that doesn't count.
Larry - the number of members changes just about hourly. But at any given time you can see the current number of members at the bottom of the...
There is, was no hostility. It was an honest question. And you can talk semantics all you want, but the definition is right there in black and...
I think you're both crazy - I see 8. Elizabeth !! I'm comin darlin !! - he says as he grabs his chest in his best Fred Sanford imitation - I'm...
No the coin would not qualify as FB, even at PCGS. That hit in the center band would stop it.
OK - and your point is ? As I said, a cracked planchet and a planchet flaw are not the same thing. A coin with cracked planchet would be...
