ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 07/19/2016 11:00 am My comments were aimed at all the recent coins posted by GR58 that drew ANACS detail grades. With regard to this 1800 Half Cent, I expect that an average collector wanting this as a type coin would pay the strongest price, were it outside a slab with a details grade.

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 07/19/2016 11:46 am All opinions are very welcome. Sometimes opinions and experience will be a little different. I have not posted all the coins I got back. Sometimes there are coins that buyers feel better, as far as being authentic. For example, a 1908 S Indian Head cent. I knew it was cleaned, I bought it very cheap. I have seen a lot of fake 08 S IHC's. Maybe I am funny, I would rather a buyer know what he is getting and not be unhappy. Report this Post to the Staff
Mike1487 Pillar of the Community United States 709 Posts	Posted 07/19/2016 2:43 pm Man GR58, I think you got the short end of the stick on all of these Details grades. They're all close to the Details border, but I wouldn't have slapped any of them with it. Tough break. To me they're all attractive coins. Report this Post to the Staff

That's an honorable attitude, GR58, yet I'm in full agreement with Mike1487 who wrote ... Quote: Man GR58, I think you got the short end of the stick on all of these Details grades.

There are far more positive aspects to these coins than negative ones. I'd be quite surprised if the future owners of these "decent but verbally downgraded" coins keep them in ANACS holders that accentuate such marginally negative attributes. Just my take ...

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 07/19/2016 3:34 pm Yes, the details grade on this one was a bit harsh imo. Any minor corrosion is so old it shouldn't matter that much. Not like it's a dug coin or anything. Quite a few normal wear hits, but should have graded problem free. my .02 Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/19/2016 4:52 pm I've never been a fan of EAC's net grading approach - it's just another opinion, but based on different criteria than most people are used to. Just show me the coin first, please, and I'll consider outside opinions afterward. Report this Post to the Staff
