Show us your overgraded coins

Basic statistics indicates that given a consistent grading system and standards, there should be similar quantities of undergraded coins as ones that are overgraded. We see frequent posts on message boards such as, “My coin is in a MS-62 holder but it is undergraded by 4 points and should be MS-66.”
A companion thread asks to see undergraded coins in slabs. Here’s your chance to boast about your overgraded slabbed coins.

I know it's not a Us coin, but it was recently graded.
It's assigned a grade of 63... it MAY be a 61. Bought t for $10 so I'm happy either way...
AND.....it looks like it has PVC.

This is true. But undergraded coins don't stay in their slabs very long. Remember, if the grade don't fit, you must resubmit.
Think I bought one last night at Heritage.
All my coins are under graded....
Well, not really....I agree with most grades... and only, maybe, two, that I truly think are undergraded.... I do not have any that I believe, or question, as over graded....Cheers, RickO
This one was supposedly an AU-58. I had a hard time believing that grade, It felt more like a 53 to me.
That's a lot of deep nicks and... a coin rolling machine etching on the obverse from the D to the neck? "Almost uncirculated"
Not a rolling machine mark. This is a classic (perhaps the most classic) location for a die crack on Peace dollars.
AU-53 sounds about right. Why would anyone have paid to get that coin slabbed?
By RWB's standards every coin I own is overgraded. I have some coins I bought raw where I think the dealer overgraded the coin, but going by holder alone, this is only thing I have that's close. I think it is an AU55 but it's in a 58 holder. I think it might have gotten the benefit of the doubt given that the surfaces are very clean with virtually no hairlines commonly seen on AU Morgans.

It was likely graded years ago when it was worth it for the variety. It's a vam 2E wing break. Values are significantly lower now.
I get a lot of undergraded ones, at least a point or two.
This was in a MS64 holder. It is no longer mine. It looks MS62 to me.
Correct me if I'm mistaken but neon toning like that is worth high estimates....
I bought it for the color, but it looks stupid in a MS64 holder regardless of how attractive I find the toning.
FR02 should be PO01

This AU-58 Morgan Dollar. I bought it from bad pics off eBay and quickly resold it when it arrived.
The joined hands is the stopping it from a 1 IMHO
Cool coin! Love

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
I guess the graders thought that it was too easy to identify to make the much coveted PR-01 grade, but I'm with you. It looks "poor" to me.
Maybe it needs to go through "reconsideration" for the coveted Poor1 grade. Do they charge a fee for a downgrade like that which makes it worth more?
I don't own any over graded coins
How about this under graded one?
Well....that's a "you suck" example.
That poor beaver. Nothing left of him but his little ears and a few scales on his tail.
Great thread.
