Message:: [QUOTE="gopher29, post: 736356, member: 5379"]over graded coin.  I have to admit I enjoy picking on PCGS.  Don't get me wrong; they're one of my favorite grading companies.  It's just that I can't stand the fact that there are so many amateur collectors out there that seem to think that PCGS is so much better at grading coins than the other services that they are willing to pay a substantial premium for a coin slabbed by them.  There's just no way to rationalize it IMO.  So, here we go.  Does this coin really look like a VG-10 to you?  C'mon there's hardly any wheat lines visible on the stocks.  Not to mention it's got a weak looking VDB.  VG-8 maybe, but VG-10?  Do you folks really think NGC or ANACS would have graded this one that high? <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-S-VDB-LINCOLN-CENT-PcgS-CERTIFIED-VG-10_W0QQitemZ320446856957QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item4a9c1efefd" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-S-VDB-LINCOLN-CENT-PcgS-CERTIFIED-VG-10_W0QQitemZ320446856957QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item4a9c1efefd" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-S-VDB-LINCOLN-CENT-PcgS-CERTIFIED-VG-10_W0QQitemZ320446856957QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item4a9c1efefd</a>[/QUOTE]
