I thank one and all for the responces to my threads about the 63 dcam, but one of my points was not

barberlover

The point that was not addressed for anyone that read my previous posts on this issue was "what do you think about the particular p.c.g.s. graders who graded this coin. I don't have a way to post a picture of this coin but someone else posted it a few days ago, which lead to my previous thread. I know p.c.g.s. stands behind there grades with cash for there admitted mistakes but what i mean is, shouldn't any grading service [especially the rolls royce of grading services bear special responsibility and extra specail scrutiny before they hand out the [ it's flawless, as struck, perfect, no flaws under a loop grade of 70 to any coin? It would help my point if someone could post that pic. on this thread again {i can't] but for anyone that's seen this crappy overgraded looks like it was graded by accugrade piece of garbage i want your answer to this question. {I repeat] what do you think of the p.c.g.s. graders who gave this coin the grade of proof 70 dcam? Also if you 've seen this coin what grade would you give it , my grade would be proof 67 dcam. barber lover

You can tell all that from a pic huh? Me, I think I will need to see the coin in person.

<< <i>what do you think about the particular p.c.g.s. graders who graded this coin. >>



I think that:

a) The spots most likely developed AFTER it was slabbed, and;

b) I'll bet I'm not the only one that's tired of all the threads about this stupid penny.

I don't really care about the penny, either.

But... Hey, Russ...
I like that new avatar you got goin' there. I wonder what percentage of the populace could identify (even vaguely) what it is just from that cropped picture?

barberlover

Lucy, Yes you can tell in this instance from a picture. I don't claim to be a renouned proof lincoln collector, but the image shows an obvers extremley blotchy obverse so distracting that the question isn't is this coin overgraded but rather by how many points is this coin over graded. Maybe it would be wise to say i'd rather see the coin in person before venturing an exact guess to which grade it should have been given, but theres no question in my minf that for proof 70 red dcam coins it should not have large visible to the naked eye blotches on the obverse fields. barberlover

Sorry Russ, but my icon coin has the real accented hair!

Lucy,

There you go again... spouting off when you don't know what you're talking about.
Russ's new avatar is a close-up of an AE (accented ear) variety. Geeezzzsk! Frankie collectors!

LucyBop

I would still need to see it in person, the people that bid this up I would think viewed it prior to the auction. They may be every bit the grader that you said you are......I don't know.... I just can't assume the bidders didn't have a clue when they had the benefit of seeing the coin in person as opposed to a picture. Taking photo's of proofs is very tricky and I have wound up with spots or splotches that really are not on the coin.

Interesting responce Russ, you think it's more likely that blotches that big developed after the coin was slabbed then that the graders screwd up? I wonder how the rest of you feel about that ?

Here is the coin. I asked for peoples opinion on the grade in the Registry forum a few months back. The coin came back with the desighnation 'FLB', Full LucyBop.... I have been thinking of putting it on the auction block... With some of the wild prices lately, why not this Gem?

I have to agree with Russ. I can't believe there were blotches on the coin when it was graded 70. mdwoods
