Sorry, but you guys were way off on this one. Don't think I've seen it this bad before   |

Hate to say it but I think its way overgraded, unless the reverse wear is just the images.

I think my images are pretty sharp, it's just hard to imagine NGC would overgrade by that much

I would have given it EF-40.

IT seems more accurate when you showed the full slab shot. Can you take a pic like that of the reverse?

I will when I get home tomorrow. Although I don't see why a less clear picture would provide greater clarity on the condition of a coin. (Genuinely asking, not trying to be snarky).

Wow. Than my 1911D is at least AU, I haven't gotten it graded since I thought it was only a VF or maybe EF, but it is way more detailed than the coin here. Might actually get me $2000 or so.

Wow that's a lot! This is the most I've paid for a coin (college budget). But after reading the recent comments, I'm seriously considering flipping it.
Tbh I thought it was overgraded as well...just not 25 points overgraded

I my first response in this thread, I admitted that I may be liable to make a grading mistake.
It is very interesting to read the hindsight comments after the slab grading was revealed.
I happen to agree with most of those hindsight comments.
There is a little more of a lesson be be taken this story.
If you get back a very generous slab grading, it may be well worth a 'try on' to sell the slabbed piece, and if you are lucky, for a decent profit.
Moral (often quoted):
"Buy the coin, not the slab".

Thanks for image. Yea tough one. Even if there was oil in the strike it seems more like rub then weakness. I still think its overgraded. The color is nice but since you paid just a hair over melt its not the worst thing in the world. But yeah may wanna sell it and add a buck or two and get a nicer example./

Tbh, EF-40 seemed generous, but AU-55?¿?! I thought it would take at least another 10 or so years before gradeflation got this bad.

I would've bought it for the price I paid even if the slab had read XF40, so I'm not in tears over it. I'm more interested in getting to the bottom of how it could have been THAT overgraded; has anyone seen a worse example from NGC?
