I was on the fence between MS64/65 regarding surfaces but thought that the overall eye appeal would push it up to MS65. The untoned area on the...
This is the entire reason for TPG grading. If TPGs didn’t exist, this unscrupulous dealer could over grade his coins, and he would get his asking...
The first coin is obviously VF35 compared to the 2nd coin which is VF25. Stop changing the subject. Uncirculated coins are graded completely...
No dude, you don’t get to change the rules unless you are starting your own TPG. Eye appeal is an element of market grading, period. Strike...
So what, they don’t grade those coins the same way US Coins are graded. I could easily make the argument that those knife coins are of varying...
Price is secondary, the fact is that those coins I showed are better than your run of the mill 1880-S MS65 Morgan Dollar, and they deserve a...
MS65*
It isn’t a grade bump, it is the correct averaging of the grades of the different elements of grading. Furthermore, I didn’t create the category...
There seems to be obvious wear but much remaining luster, I say AU55.
When the combination of luster, color, and associated eye appeal is far above the condition of the surfaces, the market grading of a coin is...
That doesn’t mean you don’t understand the toner market, I’m sure you do. I used to think that the NGC star designation was silly, then I started...
Many people who buy rainbow toned Morgan’s don’t care if the coin is overgraded with respect to surface preservation. And I purchased and sold...
The top two have what I considered MS65 surfaces but were market graded to MS66* due to the outstanding toning, luster, and resultant exceptional...
HE WAS WRONG!!!!!!! At no time prior to the reveal did he say anything to the effect that his grade is MS63/4 and that he fully expected a much...
I would also like to point out the Heritage Cataloger comments for this coin. "1885-S $1 MS66 PCGS Secure. Frosty luster glistens on each side of...
I'm aware of that, and I don't have a problem with it. I just want him to recognize that he is using a different (more conservative) standard and...
Ok, this is the 2nd time you have posted about this. Let me be clear, I don't care. If someone else, even someone as experienced as @johnmilton...
Again, that is your standard for grading, not the standard employed by the TPGs. Most of the Morgan Dollars I have owned have not been MS66, they...
Do yourself a favor, take 5 Heritage photos of MS64 1885-S Morgan Dollars and compare them to this coin. You will find that this coin is far...
The coin is a solid MS66, you are just salty that you were wrong and that I blew your example out of the water.
