Part 1 was revealed; you can see the thread here: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/pcgs-sub-2022-guess-the-grade-part-1-of-5.395475/ Continuing onwards, here is part 2 of 5. Please guess the original grade and the new grade (originally NGC and now PCGS). Are they the same or different? Here I am including two photos (a PCGS TrueView and the photos from Great Collections in the original holder).
NGC-MS 62 PCGS-AU 58 Wear vs soft strike? The coin is a slider. Interesting coin. Obverse strike is weaker than reverse. Major die deterioration? Very attractive obverse, medium level toning.
We have something called the "Ed Wood Grading Method" for those cases. You come in after the reveal and guess the right grade.
MS61* OBV MS61* REV MS62 PCGS MS62* NGC MS61* ...Unless that mark next to her nose got it a details grade.
@mlov43 @COOPER12 @jtlee321 @mrweaseluv @Evan Saltis and others, get your guesses in before the reveal later today
I'm thinking a lot like you, but in the opposite direction. I would have called it NGC AU-58 originally and now PCGS MS-62. It's certainly a slider, but in this case, I think it slid in the right direction.
I’d say NGC MS62 before Maybe PCGS MS62? Obv is more worn than reverse. I think maybe it went down to 61 but I’d say 62 after color jump. Of course, my track record with toned items isn’t fantastic.
This one a lot of people got right: NGC MS 62 PCGS MS 62 ....I don't see clear signs of wear, just a weaker strike on a baggy coin. The color is on the stronger side (not monster or high but medium-high) and it's not a common date for color. I thought it should have received a star but NGC did not. So there was no issue cracking it out. The lack of a star at NGC weighs down the market value; having it cross to PCGS (with the TrueView photo) helps unlock more potential. Here is the NGC photo (and again no PCGS slab photo)
