grospoisson Pillar of the Community United States 984 Posts	Posted 05/08/2022 4:15 pm Checking out some of my recent (a few months ago) coins I submitted to PCGS. Most I get the grade assigned, but 3 or 4 sure seem to have nothing wrong with them? Not a mark or hairline, even under high magnification. All seem to have excellent cartwheel luster. I wonder if TPG'S get tired of seeing original fresh cooper cents and want to see a little something different. In my case, I can't improve my skills if I don't know what I did wrong. I deal with that everyday if someone dosen't know where their thinking was off (mistake I mean) then you are bound to repeat the error. If TPGS run through these coins so fast then I am sure errors occur. No problem for them but costly for me. Just wondering if any of you tried a regrade or upgrade? Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/08/2022 8:13 pm I've sent many notes back to PMG for regrade and have come out on top more often than not. With a high-value note, the cost is usually minimal compared to the potential upside. Report this Post to the Staff

I always consider color, luster and strike at least 50% of the assigned grade (maybe higher at PCGS who values eye appeal so highly). Surface preservation being the balance. Reading your post it seems you have the hairlines/contact marks/luster down pat. Color, strike and overall eye appeal are also big factors at PCGS. Just my two pennies worth.

Reading your post it seems you have the hairlines/contact marks/luster down pat. Color, strike and overall eye appeal are also big factors at PCGS. Just my two pennies worth. The eye appeal part has me stumped I guess. I find a fresh cooper color and clean coin to be what I like the best for my collection. I say this but I won't pass up a 67 that's toned. The placement of the contact mark the severity of the mark, I am still fuzzy about that.. The books I have read about grading all say that a coin's normal color doesn't get a deduction or bump in grade. My thought process has me believing that TPG'S grade so many normal looking coins subconsciously the coin grades worse than something of color. (Lincolns I am referring to). Many have said they have a grade in mind the first twenty seconds they look at a coin. I believe them but don't see how? Your information was exremely useful thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

The TPG want moneys the rest is just marketing. Report this Post to the Staff

If it's in the summer when I am out of school ,I will go provided I don't have to drive across the US. Report this Post to the Staff
