Here's the picture of the $5 1902-S that I cracked from an ACG ms63 holder and today the NGC grade was posted ms63. mike image

        Well.....Even a broken clock shows the right time two times a day.

        Congrats on your find.

        Nice looking coin; it will now get much more respect and it's value may have doubled even though it's the same coin. Congrats: you looked beyond the slab.

        So, did ACG get it right, or did NGC get it wrong?

        I have owned this coin for about four years and I just kept forgetting to send it in. Four years ago I think it would have been a high grade 62 but these days it makes the 63 grade very nicely. mike image

        It sounds like everyone here assumes that ACG tries to grade consistently, whoever submits the coin. Interesting.

        When ACG first opened, they actually tried to grade good. Is this one of the original ACG coins when they first opened their doors?

        littlewicher, No this was not one of those old holders but I do have one in the old holder with the coins picture on it they graded it ms64 but in reality it's mint state with several hairlines from cleaning that would get a body bag at PCGS or NGC. mike

        Way to go Mike. Glad to see you are smart enough to look for nice eye appeal and long review of the coin. Some close-minded individuals would have walked right on by that coin and missed the very nice profit you are sure to make on the coin.

        This has nothing to do with any service. The fact is darktone knows how to grade Liberty gold coins. Who the hell cares what slab it was in? At least someone is bothering to look at the coin instead of the slab. Good job, darktone!
