[QUOTE="iGradeMS70, post: 1504079, member: 29109"]A fairly recent acquisition, I sent this one out to PCGS in an NGC VF35 holder. PCGS didn't agree with the NGC-assigned grade. :rollling: Whatever. Probably the last time I'll ever use their third-party-holdered crossing service. My theory is that the PCGS graders already have an opinion formed for them when seeing what grade NGC has assigned, so if they don't agree, they're basically telling you "Hey, NGC sucks because they overgrade - Go to us next time because we're for accurate and more consistent". :rolleyes: But again, that's just my theory. Anyways, I ultimately made the decision to crack her out :hammer: She'll see the PCGS graders again some time in the near future, but next time, she'll be sporting nothing but a mylar flip and her original skin. ;) On the bright side, one benefit to cracking her out is being able to do some high res. imaging w/ out slab glare! :thumb: It's an O.107 R3 - so-called "Adams apple" variety due to a die lump at the bust's upper throat. Weakness in the scroll at "E PLURI(BUS UNUM)" is typical of this variety. [ATTACH]193435.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]193442.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]193443.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
