Re: 1880-S MS64 old green PCGS holder
I'm not sure what the question is. I think it is okay as a 64 but not exceptional. I'd like it better as a 63 but I'm fairly conservative.

Re: 1880-S MS64 old green PCGS holder
Typical looking 64. Kind of middle of the road coin and very common. Nice strike with good luster, but the fingerprint says no for me.

With CDN bid 77 CPG 105
Looks like a decent deal at 100. It has nice luster and strike.
Re: Busting coins out of a proof set
The photo of the 1970 dime shows a coin that appears to be a proof.
The photo of the 1971 nickel is of such poor quality that I have no idea if it is a proof coin or not.
Re: Pete Rose to the Hall?
The pardon I suppose would be related to the tax evasion as ElMago said. So perhaps the pardon will confuse enough people as to how that relates to Rule 21 and they'll conflate or equate the two. That, along with a sitting President stating that he should be in the HoF and you could get enough popular support that the committee would reconsider his eligibility or make an exception/ amendment.
It could also work against him as MLB doesn't really like being told what to do, and Trump's argument that betting to win is somehow/ somewhat OK contradicts MLB's statements on the matter.
If he doesn't get elected in the next decade I think he ends up etched into the 'never gonna get it' column. That is just based on how Joe Jackson has been handled over time. I find Rose more distasteful, but I wouldn't lose a wink if he was elected.

If I had sent that in, it would have come back as AU details, cleaned.As you sent it to CAC, it straight graded. I’ll go 53, netted down from 58.
He sent it in for stickering not grading if I'm reading right.
His post indicated that he knew the coin was straight-graded and sent to CAC (not to be graded). And his straight-grade guess was AU53.

I can never find these straight graded on ebay. Am I gonna have to sign up to auction sites to get one? Do they show up for sale often?In my experience I see nicer ones generally show up at auction houses but I have also seen them straight graded on Ebay in the past. Someone got a good deal on an AU50 counterstamped four reales just a couple of weeks ago.
Yeah, I passed on it, coulda slapped myself. I was like “I really want a colonial piece instead of a Spain piece.” An hour later, when I realized I was being an idiot, it was gone.
I casually bid on it and was surprised when it sold at Great Collections for like $470 a week prior, it was still a good deal on Ebay!
