To a large degree I would agree with you Paul. But contact marks can be seen in a photograph, and that coin has enough of them in the right places for me to have the opinion I have.
That may be true. However, it is also true that your grading standards are almost a whole grade more conservative than both NGC & PCGS which puts the coin back to PF67.
Well she was cracked out and sent to NGC!! I think PCGS had it over graded at PF67. I have only cracked out 2 coins and now I got my first star!!
Maybe a star, but most definately..."here's your sign" (blue Collar).... Sorry, must be the sour mash...
I read that, but you still got a lower grade. From your comment, I gather the idea was to get the star and the grade be @#$@#.
I am really not a big fan of PCGS!! I am very happy with the coin and think it has the proper grade on the label and I got the star to boot!!
Agreed, if you like it in the NGC holder as a 66*, then congrats. Personally, I would have kept it in the PCGS slab, but that's just me.
