<p>[QUOTE="Kristine Garrant, post: 8205836, member: 124772"]My intent with this post was just to learn from experts with way more experience and knowledge than me. In trying to learn all the different avenues that go into coin roll hunting for varieties and errors. I picked a coin to use as a sample. I needed to understand the 'why?' behind it. For better comprehension on how to handle a coin if I was serious about one in an attempt to cut down on wasted time and redundancy. Also, I have seen non-error high quality older coins go for decent prices. If it was at high grade and over 30 years old, I get, but I didn't see the allure of recent coins pulling high dollars, because logic would say that a 2015 would have more higher grades available than a 1975 coin. But I was still seeing high prices at auction for some of these newer coins and was trying to see what was so spectacular, it just being a regular strike.</p><p><br /></p><p> Also, I am trying to get a gist of what i see as far as quality and what another person's opinion might be. I look at examples and I don't see a lot of difference from the one I posted. But on here everyone seems to think it wouldn't get a very high grade if sent off. Of course, I have an untrained, inexperienced eye, so I was attempting to see through yalls eyes. Even looking at PCGS images I still don't understand the difference shown on the 68 and 67. They look the same to me. Now i can see the difference in the 67 and 64. So I guess I now know that it doesn't take much to drop a grade. Very small margin in between. I was hoping for it to be more discernable, thus making a guess at the grade a little easier.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
