If common smucks like us send it in we'll get the 63/64 it probably deserves.

If big auction company sends it in big auction company gets the special treatment. That special treatment includes a conversation with a senior grader, a "friendly reminder" that the big auction house sends in lots of coins and helps promote said grading company's market reputation and that the big auction company helps pay the bills. Grader feels intimidated and rewards auction house with high grades.


Except the CAC sticker destroys that theory. You basically have to argue they're clueless with classic commems or they're in on it too which they would have no reason to be.

As for the star it's probably because they're saying one side if PL would be my guess that the pictures will never show. I like the idea of the star but they use it for to many things and should have made different symbols to denote which one

After some reading, researching, and contemplating, I think the marks we see on the coins referenced are actually planchet marks, and not bag marks.

Planchet marks are marks that are on the planchet pre-strike, and do not get 'removed' during striking at certain areas of a coin (high points), because the metal doesn't hit the die. So planchet marks are considered 'as minted', I guess, and therefore don't affect the grade.

The Sesqui is a very flat coin, and I would imagine it's flatness has something to do with the way the metal flowed during strike, and caused what we see on that coin.

With that said, there are also enough bag marks on the OP referenced coin that I still find it hard to believe it got the grade it did, or at least the CAC.
