Quote: I was reading back and also underestimated the grade. Nah, neither of you are crazy... This is a prime example of NGC grading too generously - particularly in higher circ grades. That said, this is a nice deeply toned original piece - a slight circ cameo thing going on - with a lot of meat left. Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5832 Posts	Posted 07/26/2023 11:06 pm Zurie, That's a very nice example and NGC gave a generous grade for the coin. I remember in the 90's, my in-law would buy these for around 100 RMB, now price has multiply by nearly 10x and higher. Edited by macmercury 07/26/2023 11:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 07/26/2023 11:40 pm Grading has never been much concern for my collecting. I did read somewhere, maybe in Krause, that grading for world coins differs from how American coins are graded. Not sure how these various grading companies deal with that. If I ever submitted a coin, I'd do it just to confirm or deny authenticity, but I wouldn't give a hoot about some person's subjective opinion of a grade. Wouldn't surprise me even if some of these people could even get an authentic coin to be non-genuine or perhaps a non-genuine coin to be authentic. Report this Post to the Staff
