[QUOTE="900fine, post: 457462, member: 6036"]The TPGs are more inconsistent on these gold Indian $2.5s and $5s than any other series I have checked out. In particular, they are all over the place on the pricey MINT STATE coins. I've seen coins in MS64 slabs with glaring gashes that should have dropped it down to MS61 or 60. I was saying "How did they miss that ?" Let's look at a common date - 1909-D. According to the PCGS price guide, an MS60 goes for $455... an MS64 sells for ten times that. That's an expensive overgrade ! On my wife's very first visit to a coin show, I handed her a stack of MS61 Indian $2.5s and a loupe. The quality difference between those coins was obvious, and she had never graded a coin in her life.[/QUOTE]
