<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 491407, member: 112&quot;]Dick I think everyone here knows that pics can be very deceiving. You can take 2 different pics of the same coin, one will show something and one will not - and that is without any effort on the part of the person taking the pics. In other words, it is not intended.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can only tell you what I see based on the pics. Yes, in some of your pics of this coin the marks I see in others completely disappear. And that is expected. It&#039;s just like holding a coin in hand and turning it under a good light - only at certain angles can you see certain things. But just because you can&#039;t see those things at certain angles, that doesn&#039;t mean they are not there. Not doubting your word on this particular coin - just pointing something out.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, ICG has made their share of mistakes just like all other TPG&#039;s. It is not at all uncommon for coins like this one of yours to be upgraded by NGC or PCGS. By the same token the coins graded by ICG are often downgraded by them. But as a general rule the older coins graded by ICG (those from the time frame of this slab) pretty much follow how I would grade them myself. Of course during that same time frame NGC and PCGS graded much like I would. Not necessarily the case now.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for consistency, it was always my opinion that ICG was as good as NGC and better than PCGS - again during this time frame and only with non-modern coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of that said, without seeing the coin in hand, I would not change my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
