    Nice bit o' gold. Looks a bit nicer than an "80". image

    Isn't it unusual to see haymarking on these later coins, especially gold?

    Not sure about the haymarking Mac. I thought it looks better too.

    Nice 1/3 guinea. As for the grade, In my experiance CGS tend to be slightly stricter than the US grading companies.

    CGS 80 image Takes a little time to get used to the grading standard !!

    BTW ... Nice gold !!

    More "market grading" as opposed to "technical grading" I suspect...

    The question I’ve always asked myself is:

    If CGS constantly undergrades coins or is always strict with grades, and collectors buy them then get them re-slabbed by PCGS etc.
    The same coin then comes back as a higher grade. Would this coin then sell for more on the open market/auction?

    The answer should be no if the buyers bid on the coin and not the slab. However I suspect this isn’t always the case.

    If so don’t you think CGS are wasting their time, as most of their coins run the risk of being cracked out and regarded to get a higher grade?

    I think that there is some risk of buyers in the US resubmitting to PCGS or NGC for the higher grade and a better coin will bring more at a Goldberg or Heritage auction sale in a PCGS holder in any case. I don't know how much crossover has been attempted so far, but this may represent a source of value to the astute collector. I am not sure that this coin would do a lot better than a "61" or so though as it does have some minor issues that subject it to sub-choice levels...

    nice coin... I have not seen any CGS slabs since the NY International... there was one coin there in a CGS holder that I truly regret not buying

    No... Actually the coin I wish I had bought was discussed ahortly after the show... it was a 1687 James II Crown. Had it be 1688, I would have bought it.
