<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C-B-D, post: 3554689, member: 43130&quot;]About a week ago, I submitted a PCI brown label 1897 V nickel to PCGS. It has rainbow target toning and is literally the most gorgeous and flawless 1897 V nickel I&#039;ve ever seen. The PCI grade was MS65. I happily paid $400 for it. I grade the coin MS67 and perhaps 67+, which would make it the lone finest known. I submitted it in the holder without cracking it out, but wrote on the form &quot;treat as raw,&quot; meaning they&#039;ll crack it out for me and place it in a flip before it enters the grading room. (I didn&#039;t crack it out because I had just bought it 20 minutes earlier before I took it over to the PCGS table for submitting). <u>My question for [USER=24314]@Insider[/USER] and anyone else is: <i>Typically</i>, for a coin to become a new top pop, does it need to be resubmitted several times?</u> The only &quot;newly discovered top pops&quot; I know of are the shipwreck gold coins that went up for auction recently. *Now, I realize I am not the best grader in the world by any stretch of the imagination, but I believe in this coin. I don&#039;t have a picture of my coin yet, but will post a trueview in a few weeks when it comes in. In the meantime, feel free to debate the question surrounding it. <u>To frame the question another way: Are TPG graders hesitant to assign a new top pop grade for a coin? If so, why?</u></p><p><u><br /></u></p><p><u>H</u>ere is one of the 3 known MS67&#039;s. (There is on in NGC CAC, and 2 in PCGS at that grade, according to the pop report). This is not my coin, and images are from Heritage.</p><p><u>[ATTACH=full]944875[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]944876[/ATTACH] </u>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
