The coin is only a VF grade so perhaps a ding that would reduce a MS coin to details grade only causes a VF coin to drop a grade. The level of acceptable defects increase as the net grade drops. I'm sure there are experts on net grading that can better explain the specifics of what is allowable in VF coins. Still it is a big ding on an important part of the coin.

They've slabbed 30 million items. Do you want to check error rates vs. your 5,000 posts?

That's better than a 10% stuff up rate. It costs me $20-$30 per coin, out of the last 65 coin submission I will have to send 9 slabs back to be correctly attributed and wait the 2-3 moths for the coins to get back so YES I do expect a lot better performance from them  Edited by trout1105

In ref to the 16 quarter..... I have always thought that PCGS gives certain clients huge breaks. Companies like Heritage, APMEX, MCM etc that submit huge numbers of coins for TPG'ing add tremendous revenue to the grading company's bottom line. You take care care of your best customers no matter what business you are in. Would be interesting to know who originally submitted the coin. And the part in the grading companies TOS about graders not knowing whose coins they are grading? Come on man! |

The TPG's also tend to be more forgiving on key date coins. Bumping the grade a little over what the wear would indicate or ignoring problems. I have seen 16 d dimes as high as "Fine" that didn't have full rims. |

Not that I'm an expert by any stretch of the imagination but for a technical grade, I don't see a 66. Now eye appeal can bring up the technical grade as much as 1, as far as I understand what I'd read about eye appeal and grading by PCGS.

To my understanding PCGS grades by surface condition more than eye appeal

I have seen trout1105's set of 25mm proof dollars, for myself, and I can tell you, that set is mighty impressive All proof, all slabbed. You have to break the proof sets of coins that the dollars are in, to do this. I think even the RAM would be impressed! |

Jack, I checked out the ebay listing for that 1916 quarter, and I am even more shocked that the coin also got a CAC sticker. That's not "premium quality" if you ask me.  |

I just got this one yesterday. I didn't follow the adage "Buy the coin, not the holder" and when I got it I noticed the problem. I wend back and looked at the auction and sure enough it was the same coin but the seller left out the fact that the label was wrong.   |

So did you pay for a one dollar or a ten dollar piece?

It was listed as the dollar.
The final bid was $28 with free shipping.
The cert lookup also says $10 gold MS69 but no pic. Maybe only NGC shows pics with cert lookups.
I'm not sure if I should send it back or not.
The coin looks like it would grade MS69.
