@braddick and I'll include @OAKSTAR since he felt a need to repost it, as if once wasn't enough:

What is the purpose of posting a clearly disgusting coin in an otherwise very nice thread full of legitimately beautiful numismatic items?

You'd think for that price they'd get a fresh CAC sticker.

The suspense is killing me. Especially because there's not much of interest at HA.

I have two big lots in HA Platinum night. Most of the sale is British it seems so hope my Mexican consignments have all of the focus for those collecting in this space.

I recognize one of your lots. It's a super coin but unfortunately out of my price range.

To the prior post, I've noticed the same thing. Heritage Latin America consignments have decreased noticeably for the better material for some time now. I've bought two lots this year, but these were the first in this segment in years.

Re: Spinoff of my auction results post earlier today--NGC query

On average, NGC’s grading standards are slightly lower than the PCGS standards. This situation has been made worse by crossovers. Many properly graded, really nice NGC coins have crossed over to PCGS. The “NGC dogs” stay in their kennels which tarnishes the company’s image. >

This sums it up the best to me as to why NGC coins overall get looked at as second class coins.
