cpfull Pillar of the Community United States 603 Posts	Posted 03/02/2009 6:59 pm A e-bay seller included this as a "bonus" coin in a lot I purchased, anyone want to guess the SGS grade, and what it should be? pics somewhat bad, I can't seem to get good shots through a slab.

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/02/2009 8:17 pm True grade? 63 is probably a stretch. SGS? 67-68. Report this Post to the Staff

cpfull Pillar of the Community United States 603 Posts	Posted 03/02/2009 9:28 pm Vermontensium called it. It's nice owning a perfect coin, I think it MAY go 62, those are some big hits on abe's cheek and forehead, plus the spots on both sides Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 03/03/2009 01:51 am I don't really understand SGS. What does he gain by slabbing an obviously flawed coin as MS-70? Better to slab a blast white MS-66 or 67 as 70, or slab this coin as 66 or something. They would probably make more money because it wouldn't sound some blatantly false. Report this Post to the Staff

coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 03/03/2009 12:57 pm I know, but wouldn't he expand his business if he seemed at least a little less blatant? Kind of like NNC? Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 03/21/2009 9:17 pm I nailed it! Look at that carbon spot and contact marks. Who are these so called graders? Good God. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
