Popular Post Woods020 Posted July 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2021 Today’s haul. I ran across an older collector that has truly boggled my mind. He is more of a coin hoarder than anything. Anyway he showed me some of his stuff today, and I was able to talk him into selling me a few. I got these mercs, a few raw early Jefferson’s with full steps he let me cherry pick, a 16 and 17 raw mercs with full bands, and a couple buffalos in great condition but common years. I paid up today and probably paid him more than he was expecting, but I wanted to be fair to him and show good faith to see the rest of it. When I left he said give him a week to round things up and get some stuff out of the safety deposit box and I could come back. He also has boxes and boxes of BU rolls from the 30s-60s I am dying to get a better look at. As coinbuf told me, you run into some interesting people in this hobby (good interesting). And it scares me when I see stuff like his because it makes you wonder what’s out there. What is stuck in these old timer collectors boxes? What is rare may one day not be rare. Someone somewhere may have rolls of them stuffed away. Sharann, Coinbuf, Edward Anderson and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henri Charriere Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 @leeg Firstly, thanks for shelving that intimidating avatar. Now, where was I? Oh yeah, the same way they recently changed Verrazzano's name by correcting the spelling, regardless the cost, the city of Cleveland can best honor Moses Cleaveland by correcting the spelling of his name. Nice coin! P.S. I have some thoughts on mispronunciations, but that's another issue for another time and place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy has a lot of old holders I had not seen in person before. A ton of SEGS I saw. I talked to him today and he said give him the weekend to round his stuff up. I’m supposed to call him Monday to schedule a much more thorough viewing. I’m like a kid at Christmas. rrantique and Coinbuf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Spud Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) If that NNC 93 Eagle is on EBay, most likely they covered the grade to comply with ebays policy that only you can only say a coin is certified to be a certain grade if it is in NGC or PCGS (maybe ANACS too, I forget). So, if people want to sell generic slabs they aren’t supposed to show the grade. They did this because NNC and other generics were saying everything was a 70 and enough people complained that eBay agreed it was fraud and they took that action. It was a big victory if this isn’t on eBay, then never mind 🌞 Edited August 1, 2021 by Mr_Spud Jason Abshier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a big victory Not saying the lower knockoff grading companies were complete garbage some were okay and some weren’t , I believe it was more of market thing between PCGS and NGC and ANACS as well to knock out the lower grading companies from starting up and selling coins on eBay showing the grade it is true they graded a lot of coins over grade again I also see a lot PCGS and NGC modern coins with 70 grades alot more than I used to see .I believe it being awarded too greatly (actually over used now a days ) across all grading companies. Perhaps these coins are truly perfect 70’s but on a “average day” at the grading company PCGS or NGC will say it’s a typical 69! Otherwise it’s pretty easy to find a PCGS and NGC 70 graded ASE thanks to registries that’s only reason that coin got that grade in first place otherwise to a naked eye it’s exactly the same as 69 not single difference at all other than a large price gap !

Popular Post dleonard-3 Posted August 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2021 These are the seller's photos, but this one is currently at the top of the heap with only 22 graded as MS67RD, and only this one graded as MS67RD PL. I'm sure there are better out there somewhere, but currently none are graded by NGC. Coinbuf, Lem E and Woods020 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
