I have always had a fond place in my collection for honestly circulated coins ... alas have very few Classic to contribute ... Looking forward to all the great coins.  Wondering if I can contribute photos from my circulated silver commemorative set .. 1893-1946? David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.artEdited by nickelsearcher

There will be some awesome coins in this thread. VG-VF circulated coins make a great looking set. One of my favorites is a Morgan dollar date set in the VF range. I put these together with all "P" mints whenever I can get the tough ones, 95 excluded of course. Why that hole is in the slot is beyond me.  |

Moe, are you going to start a new thread on the 3rd, or do you want to make this one official?

(I may ask a Moderator to change the Title to just "The 10 Days of Diminishing Grades of US Classic Coins" on Monday the 3rd...)  Edited by Moe145

I like this idea and have a few of my oldies but goodies to contribute. Question: I've never seen a VG-7 or VG-9 TPG coin. Obviously that will be a subjective choice even if it is slabbed...correct? |

Can we post "cleaned" coins which fit the grade but are guilty of terrible eye appeal? I have sold for melt much of the junk that I had, but I still have a few for study. Barbers, if you needed to ask! Yes, Moe, I shall not let the 25 days of Barber coins die. Much too important for me. |

Nice idea for us poor, blind (just kidding) and lousy or new to learning grades, people. ( Let me wipe off my glasses to see if I typed this in right!) And get my
"David Bowers" out and my saved bookmark of PCGS photo guide and ......... what else? All those bookmarks on grading. Thanks Moe!

I have seen (rarely) grades between the normal AG-3, G-4, G-6, VG-8 VG-10, F-12, etc, so I know they exist. But, like I said, they're rare and probably lately rarer still than they used to be. I realize my parameters for this thread make posting a little awkward. But, we needed a countdown for the 10 Days. Quote:
Obviously that will be a subjective choice even if it is slabbed...correct? My purpose of this thread is to try to have equally graded coins on the same day. If you have a low-end VG-10 that you feel just made it, but may be more like a VG-9, that's what I'm looking for you to post on VG-9 day. If you have a VG-8 that you feel should have been higher, post it on the VG-9 or even VG-10 day. I trust your judgement! The point is, try to be as close as you can (if you were a TPG grader) to the grade of the day. (And if you post a coin that's a bit off pararmeters, I probably won't ask the mods to delete it.)

My friend, Jeffrose, is quite wise and I fully support this decision! Horray for that decision ... I will be thrilled to share about 20 coins from the tremendous classic USA silver commemorative series in these grades. Tremendous coins ... some mind-blowing examples of 'how did that valuable coin get so worn out". I'm making a list and prepping my photos ... looking forward to 12/03 and VG10 day.
