Hi everyone!
I have these 7 different slabs and I’d like to know the community’s opinion on them.
Could you rank the grading slabs from least respected to most respected?
question: Which coin inside its slab do you think is the best one?
Hi everyone,
I have these 1960-P Roosevelt dimes that come encapsulated as MS70 by SGS (with the “America’s Grading” label).
The problem is that they don’t look like MS70 at all. They have visible wear, spots, and generally look like circulated or low-grade coins. I’m really confused how they received the highest possible grade (MS70 is supposed to be perfect with no defects).
Any information is appreciated. Thanks!
I recently picked up this walker and was wondering what you all would grade it. Leaning towards getting it slabbed since there can be a pretty significant jump in value.
Picked this up and absolutely love it! I’ve been considering getting it graded, but I wanted to have another opinion. These are the pictures from the listing, much better than anything I tried to take.
I am an estate liquidator. My client is interested in having this coin graded because he thinks it might be worth more than melt. It's not included in the sale, so I'm basically trying to do him a favor and potentially save him some money if it's not worth grading.
Should he send it off for grading? My initial thoughts are that it's a nice coin and may be worth more than melt, but not a lot more.
I inherited this in the mid 70’s. It is a 1921 Peace Dollar ($1.00), with no mint mark. Is it worth grading? Thoughts on how it might grade?
Got as a gift a long time ago bc my birthday is 1986,
I forgot I had these found a bunch of Morgan’s and steel Pennie’s in a box from 20+ years ago. This was in plastic case is that an error?
Found while CRH, trying to get a feel of what it would grade.
I bought this 1868 2 Lire Anno XXIII (R2) PCGS MS64 last year at an auction. I immediately sent it to NGC to crossover as an MS64, and NGC rejected it. I waited for the FUN Show this January to resubmit with a minimum grade of MS60, and again NGC rejected it, which means they believe it’s either a details grade, or not mint state.
This then lead me to research PCGS vs NGC standards, and I have come to realize that PCGS is best for US Coins and NGC is best for world coins as they have the top world experts on their team.
I also decided to learn how to conserve coins properly, shortly after the FUN Show, not just to conserve this coin and resubmit it, but to offer it as a service of my coin shop that I opened.
Well after lots of practice, and about 30 coins that I’ve conserved and submitted to multiple TPG companies with a 100% success rate of my conserved coins getting straight graded, I decided to use my conservation skills on several of my PCGS to NGC crossover rejects, including the coin in this post.
Well you can see the results for yourself. I cracked out the MS64 2 Lire, conserved it, sent it to NGC, and it came back as the #1 coin “Top Pop” in the world for this year and denomination.
I just wanted to share my success and surprise with this group!
Here is the link to the coin from NGC: https://www.ngccoin.com/registry/competitive-sets/559164/coins/3954981/
The only quesito in I have now is how to we value the coin since there are no comparisons?
Only three (3) Proof Like 2 Lire’s have been graded, and based on my search the most expensive 2 Lire to have ever sold was my coin when it was sold raw out of Spain, before it was graded by PCGS, for $1,386 back in 2014.
So if it sold for $1,386 (€1,200) not including shipping and buyer’s fee, what does it go for now that it’s an MS67PL Top Pop?
seeking some opinions here - 1930-S SLQ with decent detail on the front, but some hairline scratches on the back. The scratches aren't terribly visible when looking at the coin (or my eyes are old), but are very visible under magnification. Also some slight rim damage at on the lower left portion of the reverse. Melt?
