How dare ya&#039;ll presume that you&#039;d be allowed to post adjacent violations of forum conduct. For said violations, I have gone through the remaining queued up samples and have chosen the crappiest pics of the group for the next round.... NOW BEHAVE !</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So,, around the 2nd corner the leaders are neck and neck,, </p><p>,, down the back stretch.... neck and neck...</p><p>,, it&#039;s Raider, now Duke, then Raider, now Duke,, stride for stride.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>,, OMG, I can&#039;t believe it ladies and gentlemen,, this is unheard of.. what am I seeing.</p><p>,, it Raider&#039;s jocky,,, has leaned over to and poked Duke squarely in both eyes.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>,, Dukes down,, Dukes down ! blood pooring out of both eyes,, fingernail jam apparently clogging his vision,, he&#039;s dropping back in the pack... omg,,, omg..... !</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>:loud::loud::loud::loud::loud:</p><p>:high5: SECOND EXACTA :high5:</p><p>:loud::loud::loud::loud::loud:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>** and in direct violation of CoinTalk&#039;s ethical code,, give him a point Doug ! **</p><p>CONGRATULATIONS....</p><p>..... RAIDER :high5: </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>NGC grades:</p><p>1946D - MS66 &gt; new holder, pretty sunset toning,, actually my favorite type of toning,, casts a spell of sunset on the coin, and the toning pattern is generally not chased by stupid money as readily,, even though imo,, it&#039;s nicer than any neon rainbow paint explosion.</p><p>1945S - MS66 &gt; standard, dripping white luster merc....</p><p>ANACS grades:</p><p>1924S - EF45 &gt; Nicely toned coins,, touches of sunset tone.</p><p>NGC grades:</p><p>1946D - MS65 &gt; standard blast white, dripping white luster WL.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Observations: I threw the exact same WL&#039;s from the same Tpg up as an example to grade these... now it&#039;s either tpg variation, or a miss,,, or strike is everything for NGC grading of WL&#039;s.... I was once told to approach grading WL&#039;s as grading a woman.</p><p>First - note the face... should be complete, and pretty.</p><p>Second - glance briefly (don&#039;t get caught) at her teets... look for fullness.</p><p>Third - Check out her feet... nice clean feet say alot about what&#039;s in between the last place you looked and her feet... it they are nice, then anything in between is probably nice too. </p><p>..... that said, check out those features on the obv of these two coins... and you can see a difference in detail and strike that is readily apparent,, at least to me.</p><p>Same strike deltas on the reverse,, however the 66 does have harder hits on the eagle than the 65,,, but not as many little hits, and much more detail.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>:loud: CONGRATULATIONS RAIDER !!..... this will increase you lead... but can you make turn 3 and turn 4 in stride,,,, or will someone from the pack sling snot in your eyes before you make the home stretch.....</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Awards for this set of coins:</p><p>Best - Raider - 0.0000 &gt; Oh boy,,, and Morgans are are still coming. </p><p>HA - Chip - 1.75 &gt; Change grading guidlines.. although it is interesting to see someone using references for each submission... make ya wonder what the tpg&#039;s use, huh ! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Others:</p><p>Bigjpst - .75 </p><p>Mark_h - .75 </p><p>RLM&#039;s - .50</p><p>Ldhair - .75</p><p>BQcoins - .50</p><p>Lehigh - .50</p><p>Swish - .50</p><p>Leadfoot - .50</p><p>Duke - 1.00</p><p>Badthad - .75</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On to round 9,,, and pictorial revenge !![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
