Anyone Get The 2021 Type 2 ASE Yet?

The grading company is GrapeCollects Grading. I am personally much more strict than either PCGS or NGC when it comes to modern bullion, but I spend more time looking at a coin than they do.

Other grades were on average MS-69 with extremely minor issues... except for the following

Out of a mint sealed tube that I personally opened, 8 coins contained this exact imperfection by the CA of AMERICA on the reverse.



5 coins had this small pinhole mark on the obverse




1 coin was a mishandled coin and would grade MS-67. All the rest were MS-69, but had an abraded die issue in the skirt on the obverse. This was all but impossible to picture, and while not a technical deduction makes it so that it appears as a black spot when tilted in the light, therefor impacting eye appeal.

I posted mine here --------->>> http://goccf.com/t/392497#3457935

But you can't really go by the photos as sun hit the APMEX plastic packaging, creating little spots/shadows. That graphic from the Mint is a good cheat-sheet!

livingwater - I see what you are referring to in the pictures but I don't see them when I look at the coin under my phone's camera magnification. Could just be odd reflections in the plastic capsule.

Well my order for the T2-W ASE in in at the Mint, now the waiting starts....

If we resubmit the MS 68's back to Grape Collects Coins Graders will they turn to MS70? ;)
