<p>[QUOTE="JCB1983, post: 1311668, member: 23885"]Sometimes I believe that the people of this forum are more accurate at grading than PCGS. They are still subject to human error, and are not in the comfort of their home. The coin is indeed slabbed. I am sorry if I was misleading in this post, but I wanted to get a fair objective opinion from the CT community without it being skewed by a slab. So I change my question. What would you grade this coin after seeing it slabbed? I myself felt as though this was not graded accurately, and that is why I made this post. I understand that I probably over-paid even at this grade, but couldn't resist. Does this shed light on the fact that PCGS grading standards have changed? Or is the first picture misleading because of the light. In my limited experience I tend to agree with Doug on this one, totally over graded. I was going to post the slabbed pictures a little bit sooner, but was reserved because I didn't want to make a mockery of the graciousness of the experts on this forum. I would also like to note that I wanted to get honest feedback, and I appreciate it. O.k. here comes the real criticism. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]147870.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]147871.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
