Thank you all
For 1200 on a 72cc I could be looking at a lot worse or lower grade

In this submission I had a
1840 half that came back AU-50
Also a 77cc half that came back Au details cleaned. That coin looked good minus a few rim bumps . I had it at details

In my 30 years of submitting more than 2,000 coins and notes for grading to PGCS and NGC, I still say without hesitation - it's a crapshoot.

I agree Coinfrog it's a crapshoot This was one of those coins that looks better in hand and to me was worth the gamble considering what I paid . I knew it would not come back worse than the original grade I will say they are becoming a lot harder on Trade dollars than before |

I feel like recently I've seen a lot more over-grades coming out of NGC than PCGS or ANACS. Has anyone else noticed this?

Pcgs is no better or consistent in my opinion

I don't agree with au53 straight grade.
Without a doubt over dipped and cleaned.

I agree with NGC's previous grade. Now the real test is crossing it to PCGS...

They have been more liberal lately and the lower returns by collectors reflect the collector base that recognize the inferior quality. Suffering from bust half fever.

I actually had the opposite results . More straight graded pcgs coins lately though I have noticed both have been much tougher on Trade dollarsI'm not saying I thought this coin was going to straight grade but it is definitely a AU coin with good color that is not showing well in the pics. My original hope was a Au details or was hoping XF 45 straight. The odd thing is a very nice original 77cc came back cleaned. It has some rim bumps. That was my only concern on that one. A few Trade dollars that looked good came back cleaned as well recently . I did have a decent 1840 half I thought would grade XF-45 come back AU-50 Regardless this one will fit my set nicely . |
