Message:: [QUOTE="Shortgapbob, post: 234620, member: 6088"]Hmmm....a few comments on this thread: 1. I have heard much argument regarding whether or not bulk submitters are recognized at TPGs.  Some have swore that they are, and others are confident that they are not. 2. It does not suprise me that many of Heritage's coins seem to be either overgraded, or of poor quality for the grade.  Many coins that are PQ for the grade or just really nice examples never make it to public venues such as ebay, Heritage auctions, Teletrade, etc.  They have already been sold for strong money and put away in collections before they make it to public auction.  I'm not saying you can't find nice coins through any of these venues, they just may not surface often. 3. As for the $2.5 Indian, I think this is a perfect example of a technical AU-58 coin that was market graded MS-62.  It looks to have few distracting marks, and probably retains much luster.  Although technically an AU coin, it would sell for much stronger money than a typical AU.  Therefore, PCGS market graded it in an MS-62 holder.  If you look at $2.5 Indians, many coins in the 60-62 range have a rub on them and are technically AU. Just my thoughts on the topic....feel free to agree or disagree. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
