Last week I purchased a complete NGC Registry Jefferson Nickel collection sight unseen. To my surprise, when I opened the package, the 1945-P...
AT, bad AT as well.
I think it is entirely possible that the eye appeal and luster of this coin pushed it from an MS65 to an MS66. I don't think there are nearly...
I don't know the first thing about this series but I just can't imagine this is what a near 200 copper coin should look like. I say VF Details:...
I thought it was on the holder as well. I guess we will find out soon enough.
So you think the coin is AT, cleaned, environmental damage?
Well the last one you showed with a shield like that got an MS66, but this one has marks on the obverse as well. I am doubling down and saying...
I like the obverse toning, not thrilled with the reverse though. Tough to evaluate the luster but there are some marks and the obverse strike...

Here is a Barber Quarter that I purchased raw a few years ago and had graded that came back cleaned. [IMG] I think the cleaning on this coin...

Based on the NGC website you are correct but I think that NGC should rethink that policy. There policy is that a coin that is CAMEO with one side...
For the sake of accuracy, there are MS69 Morgan Dollars. Oops, sorry Numis-addict, I see you already covered this.
I was soooooo close!
The 6th step does not need to be complete to obtain the NGC 5FS or PCGS FS designations. You are still using the 6FS definition which was...
So nobody wants to talk about gradeflation. How about the fact that I paid $12 for this coin, paid $20 in grading fees, and then sold the coin...
Surface Preservation: MS66 Luster: MS67 Eye Appeal: MS67 Strike: Not a great strike but definitely full steps. I consider strike the least...
I was laughing because the thread was a setup. The coin was originally graded MS65 when first submitted in the 90's. I cracked the coin out of...
I don't know about the older foreign coins, but for the modern silver commemoratives it would be cheaper to sell your raw coins and simply buy an...
