[QUOTE="fizzy, post: 1334244, member: 32632"]hi folks. i'm sure it's common to think one's own slabbed coins deserve higher grades. over the years i've acquired several, particularly morgans, that i wonder if one day i'll get around to resubmitting to pcgs. but i was looking at some gold coins after some years and wonder if some of them were actually represented correctly - especially recognizing that pcgs is more restrictive with regard to higher grades. i know the idea of grading from photos leaves lots to be desired, but perhaps people are interested in giving it a try? [ATTACH]152969.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]152968.vB[/ATTACH] this $2.50 liberty is in an NGC holder. the reverse does indeed have those lines above the eagle which i did not see before i took the photo [ATTACH]152970.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]152971.vB[/ATTACH] this $2.50 indian is in a numistrust holder - seems perfect but not "sharp" yet as in many cases, one grade higher would make a nice difference here. i will try to take a better photo of the obverse - the message forum is not letting me upload the better one i already took. [ATTACH]152967.vB[/ATTACH] [COLOR=#ff0000]edited[/COLOR] i didn't take it out of the 2x2 - lots of bag marks or knock-around marks. the reverse is lustrous but also marked up. it's clean enough that i don't think it was hand-handled too much though her face does show wear. an AU50? so i wonder if people can determine the grades of the slabbed coins from the mediocre photos, and also would anybody help me grade the $20 piece? i would also find it interesting if people shared photos of other graded coins for others to guess grades and discuss reasons to tick it up or down on the 70 point scale. thanks for any thoughts![/QUOTE]
