    Honestly...I couldn’t see that in a 66 holder...let alone 66+. Not with those reed marks on the reverse

    Why not? That 1871 that I inadvertently did an eraser mistake on in my early days is not only still finest known 66 but also CAC approved.

    And the mark is easily visible.

    That coin belongs to a customer of mine. It was just regraded.

    I'm not at liberty to discuss the grade, but you'd be shocked.

    Its dynamite.

    It’s a 66+ according to PCGS. Not according to CAC...nor myself

    CoinFacts shows it is now a 66+

    I understand why you dont agree on the grade for this coin, but why would it influence your decision to collect sets?

    does rarity affect grading standards?

    Gradeflation can erode the value of non-inflated coins.

    who looks at the reverse to determine grade?

    Or just buy older non pronged holder coins.

    Gradeflation isn't all the grading services fault, as the collectors today want the highest label number they can get on a coin they resubmit. They really aren't too concerned if it's the proper number that actually fits the grade of the coin.

    66+ appears to be very ambitious

    Yikes! I thought PCGS was tightening - only for "cheap" 3 and 4 figure coins I guess . . . .

    That is the way it goes for a lot of coins MS66 and higher. Many 65s Too.

    Based on the ticks, reed marks, and total lack of originality in the True View, I thought it was a marginal coin even as a 65.

    Buy the coin, not the holder.

  • Inspired70Inspired70 Posts: 636 ✭✭✭✭✭

    TDN is right. As a fellow seated dollar collector, this coin is no where close to a 66+. A sad state of grading on this one. It struggles to maintain gem status as a 65 in my mind.

    Coin looks a little nicer at arm's length. (Before it was regraded) It does not appear to be a crack-out since the old number is gone from the database, suggesting it was a regrade. Trueviews on dollars generally show every single mark in vivid detail.

    It's a Happy Coin (see sig line).

    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.
  • ashelandasheland Posts: 23,765 ✭✭✭✭✭

    65 seems right. Why are they showing the old holder?

    Have to disagree with that. There's some spots due to an improper dip rinse per the Heritage image. I've seen a few coins in 6 holders with this; I would never buy one of them.
