Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 12:44 pm Nice coins I'm not sure of the grades PCI gave the coins, and those that do not recognize PCI as a real certification service and avoid PCI slabs, it has been my personal experience that all the PCI coins that I had crossed over to ANACS received the same grade and on 2 occasions ANACS graded 1 point higher...

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6394 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 12:55 pm I'd guess MS-64FB and MS-65FB for the 42-D and 44-D, respectively. The toning on the 42-D looks nice but it might be masking some contact marks and grade-limiting spots. Report this Post to the Staff

shadowtrooper78 Pillar of the Community United States 1370 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 1:11 pm @Broken-Coin here's an interesting article on PCI slabs that BadThad directed me to a while back. I keep an eye out for these because most of the dealers and collectors in my area look at PCI slabs as damaged goods. http://www.k6az.com/pci/pci.htm Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 1:23 pm Yep, I agree with the grades assigned by Jaobler. I have a few coins in PCI slabs and agree with all the grades except one. It's a 2003 silver Eagle that's graded MS67. I'm sure it would be an NGC MS69. Ooops, edited to add: Very nice toners! Edited by dave700x 01/31/2013 1:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff

peterplanchet Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 6:07 pm The second coin should be MS65 FB. For the first coins, I see lines near the date and the Y in liberty. Are those on the coin itself or are they photographic artifacts? Report this Post to the Staff
