    Interesting to see

    Just one question, maybe i'm just having a bit of a slip up, but I can't remember what company graded the slab below the PCGS slab.
    What is it??

    I collect bits and pieces of everything
    or should I say I ACCUMULATE!
    I also dabble with the darkside image

    Ive recently gotten more into currency, especially modern star notes

    I believe that's a PCI slab. I've never owned one though. . .
    I've had great transactions with people like: drwstr123, CCC2010, AlanLastufka, Type2, Justlooking, zas107, StrikeOutXXX, 10point, 66Tbird, and many more!

    I don't know. They all look pretty ugly to me. But thats probably because I don't care for frankies. image

    If it were the sam coin in each slab, now that would be something!

    I'm not a big fan of frankies either. I'm working on a whitman folder of circ ones that was handed down to me from my father, but I find it hard to purchase them to put in the set because I just dont find them appealing at all.

    Needless to say that set is on the backburner for a while.

    judging by the age of the slabs ..id take the anacs and the ngc coins first...as we all know pics dont tell much sometimes as is the case here

    my goal is to find the monsters and i go where they are but i sometimes miss some.... so if you have any and want to sell IM THE BUYER FOR THEM!!!

    PCI yes it is. Never owned one either.

    too many questions about all the slabs pictured to draw any conclusions that are worth discussion.

    about 2-3 years ago i had a small group of coins that i intended to submit to the top seven services, but the cost and differing standards over the length of the seven submissions convinced me not to do it. CW eventually did something similar and drew some criticism. in hindsight, i made the right choice. no need to enhance my pariah status with some objective analysis, right??

    I have been doing this some on my own but not very scientific... From the pic my initial reaction is that the PCGS and the ICG coins look the best to me.

    OK...now each of those coins needs to be cracked out and sent to each of the other services. Could get confusing image

    I'm not a Frankie fan by any stretch, and I know it is impossible to grade pics, but I'd have gone 64 on all of them except the anacs, which I'd have given 65.

    I like the PCGS and ICG coins, but I like white coins with unbroken fields and high luster.

    As far as seeing the same coin in 9 different holders with the same grade, well, we'll be hunting the flying pig before that happens. image

    Is there a corresponding photo of the Revs?

    Where's the one photo of the same coin (a Commem.) that was sent to five grading companies?

    I like the ANACS coin.

    I agree. If you had to choose one, that's the one I'd choose.

    Did NGC dip the spots off??

    << <i>Did NGC dip the spots off?? >>

    Yes. I had NCS do a wash-job on it first before sticking it in an NGC slab.

    Just goes to show that objectivity is in the eye of the subjective grading service...
