<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Jags, post: 24660882, member: 78719&quot;]This coin graded &quot;61&quot; and was vetted by none other than Steve Hill when he was at Spink. I think between him and Mark Rasmussen and possibly myself that we may have more than a bit of experience on these coins and grading. Unadulterated BS is my humble opinion. This and the 1920 should probably be submitted to the other service as if they ever come up for sale a higher slab grade would reflect a much higher price at auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, on a related topic as the TPGs in my opinion miss grades on at least some occasions and this leaves room for potential relative bargains: at the recent Monaco (MDC) sale I got an 1848/6 sixpence graded MS62 for a relative song because in-person bidding revealed a much better coin than would be suggested by such a grade. Unbelievably they also had a second specimen of the 1848/6 graded MS61 that was probably overgraded; my opinion is that the first coin was probably of 63 quality conservatively and the second MS58.&nbsp;&nbsp; Caveat emptor![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
