Guess the grade #346

I don't know what to say about this one. These marks/rubs are there. Not as noticeable as in the picture, but definitely there with a loupe. Without it, I have no idea if they could see it or not, but I cannot make out the loss of luster without the loupe. Regardless, no one got this one. NGC called it a 67. If they did not see the rub, it is probably a fair grade. Apparently they missed it because there is no way to get a 67 with a rub like that. All I can say is that I will try to stick to some more normal coins at least for a while.

MS-67 on that one? I think that grader has looked at too many coins through loops and now probably is in need of an eye exam! Either that or came into work drunk.

 

WOW, just WOW!

 

boy do I pick the wrong rounds to play... off the map for the 1st time since the thread started....
Time to reset and get back my swing.

 

Wow I'm dropping like a rock . Wonder if I'll be in the top ten next week . Dick it's coins like these that we learn quite a bit on .

 

A net grade. That's NGC's story and they're sticking to it. (note tongue planted in cheek)

Wow...

 

Stewart, That's quite an old slab. I'll wager it looked nothing like that when graded, and I'm not sure we should presume anything about NGC from this thread. Respectfully...Mike

 

But Mike , what does an old slab have to do with the scuff marks on the obverse . I could see carbon spots forming in that time but not rub .

 

Despite what RLM says, that looks like toning to me not rub. That's the only way for me to explain the 67 grade. That or NGC flat out messed that one up, which I find highly unlikely but certainly possible.

 

I don't know about that. It sure looks like a rub to me. However, I do not see it without the loupe. Any reason they would not have called that "cabinet friction"?

 

I would think that anything with friction would not have garnered the 67 grade, that's essentially my point.

Could it happen? Sure.

Likely? I don't think so.

I do think that if you cracked that coin and send it in as-is there's no way it would get a 67 again.

But what do I know, I'm just a TPG-apologist.
