Popular Post jimbo27 Posted November 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2023 NGC shipped my submission of Top 100 Morgans on Friday. The first four were yellow label ANACS coins and the last one was a raw coin I bought. I will post one coin a day with before and after photos to show how I did. I think I did okay. Hope you enjoy it, jimbo27. Fenntucky Mike, Lem E, J P M and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldhair Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I have always wondered if the graders know about the holder or only see them raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri Charriere Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) The gentleman, having not been formally Mirandized and failing to state he wished to exercise his right to remain silent, folded under questioning and quite readily admitted to deflowering the encapsulation. The TPGS would not detect evidence of a crime having been committed if the coin(s)were submitted raw. However, with one's signature one may authorize the vandalism when accompanied by the appropriate fee. I would prefer to think all coins are received with an open mind but only the grade finalizer's barber would know for sure. Three important things I learned in kindergarten from which I graduated Magnum C-m Laudanum: 1. Do not plagiarize another's work and misrepresent it as your own; 2. Do not defile a cinemaphotograher's black-and-white film with colorization; and most important: 3. Resist the urge to vandalize a Grading Finalizer's judgment. 🤣 Edited November 5, 2023 by Henri Charriere Die-polishing. jimbo27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post powermad5000 Posted November 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2023 I think @jimbo27's experiment proves that ANACS's grades are pretty reliable. Something I found for myself when I cracked a few of their Morgans and crossed them to NGC. rrantique, jimbo27 and Sandon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your coin looks pretty nice. What do you think brought it down to 61? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powermad5000 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) I'm really not totally sure @Lem E as the reverse looks just as good. It is sitting in my SDB so I can't currently access it right now, but maybe I will revisit it again in the future and take another look. I remember sending it in and I know I didn't expect a 65 but I really though it was a solid 63 and maybe a 64. I do remember there wasn't a lot of chatter on it so maybe the graders didn't think it was fully struck?? It is one of my favorite coins though and looks great!

You would think it would be pretty obvious why it got a 61. Still looks like a nice piece no matter what the grade is. powermad5000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sandon Posted November 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2023 Regarding @powermad5000's 1891-S Seated quarter, although I can't see much detail from the single photo posted, what I do notice is that the coin appears to be a flat "white" without much frost or "cartwheel", which would suggest that the coin was "dipped", perhaps a little too long or repeatedly. Although the grading services usually don't designate a "dipped" coin "cleaned", obvious "dipping" can lower the numerical grade where the coin appears "washed out", dull, or unnaturally white for a type like this one, whose uncirculated survivors are usually toned. Here is an 1879-O Morgan dollar (not the prooflike one I recently posted on the "Post Some of Your Morgan Dollars" topic) that PCGS graded MS 61 some years ago and is housed in a green label holder. The coin doesn't have the number of abrasions one would associate with a Morgan dollar in that grade and has some "cartwheel" but is unusually light in color. jimbo27, Fenntucky Mike, Lem E and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
