<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 457462, member: 6036&quot;]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.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ve seen coins in MS64 slabs with glaring gashes that should have dropped it down to MS61 or 60. I was saying &quot;How did they miss that ?&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Let&#039;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.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That&#039;s an expensive overgrade !</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On my wife&#039;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]</p><p><br /></p>
