Ouch, that hurt...

I had a very nice (but apparently not as nice as I thought) $20 Liberty in an old PCGS Rattler holder graded MS64. I thought I'd play the crackout game that I play on maybe 2 coins a year. I thought it had a VERY good shot at a 65. But what do I know, it came back a 63....

    heck try a few more times and you just might get your 5 in the coin.
    a grade is never really etched in stone

    They just need to come up with a slab that has the grade in an LED display that automatically advances by one digit every 18 months or so........

    After you pay additional fees to advance the grade! image

    Yeah, but the good news is, the holder
    will now fit in the blue box.

    ...and you don't have to spin it back
    around to vertical every time you
    want to look at it.

    That should be worth a point, eh??
