Sure okay it does not have to be a first strike so to speak, but that strike no way. Especially the kind of money they are asking. If the TPG's can guarantee that the coin in mention is ms-65 Then I bet I have an MS-68DMPL + for My whole average of the Morgan silver dollars LOL. Therefore I will soon be a millionaire. LOL

But I do agree that the TPG's reputation is mostly the one at stake. To me its kind of like selling stolen property, ( I did not know that it was stolen when I bought it however the law says that I can still be held responsible)

65? Is that the number of finger prints on this coin? A perfect example of a coin that lacks eye appeal. In general, this coin is incorrectly graded, or someone pulled the ol' switcheroo.

Wow... interesting coin, and I find it highly suspect that PCGS would label that as MS-65. I see it as XF-45ish, maybe AU-50 at absolute tops. Funny how people bid it up anyways, just blindly following the TPG's opinion. I think that is ridiculous, and I am one who does believe in TPG's, but you still HAVE TO BUY THE COIN because they make mistakes, etc, and that coin isn't anywhere near MS-65.

I just don't even see a mistake being this dramatic. I wonder if the people over at PCGS forums are talking about this coin and if so I wonder what they are saying (I'm to lazy to search through the million and 1 new posts since the last time I went there reading posts). Maybe Ron is going to buy it and see if its one of them "Fake Slabs" everyone has been talking about the past few months.

Edit: well the only way it is a fake slab is if they used a real number that PCGS did grade as MS-65 http://www.pcgs.com/Cert/08635973.html

Just an all-around ugly coin, regardless of grade or holder.

The only logical answer for me is some one did switch the coin.
