grospoisson Pillar of the Community United States 984 Posts	Posted 04/14/2022 8:17 pm I have two of these 1957 BIE cents that are worth considering to submit. I did not submit anything, but here is how I think PCGS can sucker you in to spending money. Dumb suckers like me look at the posted picture on the PCGS website then look at the coin in hand and think . "My coin looks as good as that one" of course it never is. Do you think this coin is at least close to the same thing or a point and a half worse? Curious as to what you guys think. PCGS coin is the lighter shade coin. Of course mine is with the BIE error Edited by grospoisson 04/14/2022 8:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe it will make MS-64RD/RB . I know my pictures always give the impression the coin could be red brown, but the darn scope doesn't capture the real color. I looked at coin and thought 65/66, then I went to PCGS website and the top picture is graded ms-67+, Same commotion on the shoulder and scars on face and stains on reverse. Does the die crack on shoulder and the bie error lower the grade? That coin is valuable in a high grade one day I will find out. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18664 Posts	Posted 04/15/2022 10:12 am based on the top coin is at 67+ yours should come back at least 66+ or 67 (which I doubt) but you need to look at the day of the week it gets there to determine your grade. Report this Post to the Staff

I suspect the PCGS example above has blazing luster, it's probably a very flashy and bright coin otherwise it could not overcome it's flaws. There's also a strong chance the spots in the pictures are weak and are grossly over-blown by the detailed photos. Grading by pictures at 66 and up is VERY difficult because so much hedges on luster and eye appeal which generally fail in pictures.
