Few examples were saved by contemporary collectors, making high-quality specimens particularly difficult to locate. Despite the elusive nature of the 1851, the date is often underrated, outside of series specialists. Read the Entire Article Report this Post to the Staff

ArrowsAndRays Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 02/26/2015 1:01 pm Interesting how Gardner sold it in a PCGS MS66 holder, and now it resides in a PCGS MS67 holder. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 02/26/2015 2:02 pm Those things don't bother me that much, when they appear in either direction. My thinking is, they've been presented for some sort of official Review, or submitted by a major auction house in preparation for a large event. Either way, instead of being graded on a production line, the coin received enough personal attention to develop a perfectly clear picture of its' true character. So I tend to trust those second opinions, and although it's only one person's data I generally agree with the grades. And yeah, that's somewhat an indictment of "normal" TPG procedure.
