    Tradedollarnut - This is a PCGS web site. Don't you agree that you should have said which holder each coin is in before we started to guess the grades ?

    After all there are at least two different standards in grading coins in PCGS vs. NGC holders ?


    Can you imagine trying to take the PCGS grading challenge with some coins in NGC holders ?

    Isn't it a stretch of anyones imagination to call the 1794 Large Cent and the 1837 half dollar an ms 67 ?

    How about on the next guessing game you state whether the coin is NGC or PCGS ?

    The only wrong guess I made was to say the Colts would win ... and it is still haunting me

    Stewart

    BTW Congratulations on the CAC sticker on the 1807 quarter. I believe it is the only 67 in the group WITH a CAC sticker.

    It sure was easy for me to figure out which coins were NGC...

    Stewart, I was unaware that PCGS and NGC have different standards for every coin, as you seemed to imply. Thanks for the head's up.image

    No - because it was patently obvious to anyone paying attention what holders they were in. In fact, it was even discussed that the 1837 half was in an NGC holder.

    IMO, there are at least two different standards in grading coins in PCGS and NGC holders - depending upon when they were graded! image



    << <i>Can you imagine trying to take the PCGS grading challenge with some coins in NGC holders ? >>



    We weren't taking the PCGS grading challenge. But honestly I think I'd have done better since when I missed, I missed high. image



    << <i>Isn't it a stretch of anyones imagination to call the 1794 Large Cent and the 1837 half dollar an ms 67 ? >>



    Not in my opinion. I like the 1794 better than the MS69 [ image ] and I bought the 1837 in that holder



    << <i>How about on the next guessing game you state whether the coin is NGC or PCGS ? >>



    How about in the next guessing game you look to see if the holder is clear or white?



    << <i>The only wrong guess I made was to say the Colts would win ... and it is still haunting me >>



    Even Laura is right twice a year. image



    << <i>BTW Congratulations on the CAC sticker on the 1807 quarter. I believe it is the only 67 in the group WITH a CAC sticker. >>



    No - the 1837 and 1794 are also CAC

    To your knowledge have the others ever been submitted ?
  • tradedollarnuttradedollarnut Posts: 20,237 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Hmmm - my mistake. Laura had informed me those two coins had been to CAC. Apparently they have not.
  • coinguy1coinguy1 Posts: 13,484 ✭✭✭
    Considering how sharp Stewart is and how well he did, despite how little attention he apparently paid to the images/holders, I'm wondering if he just guessed without even looking?image

    67 BN on that 1794 cent
    WOW

    Will you ever agree with me with what I say ????

    I agree with you that your 1794 is a better coin than the 1793 graded ms 69.

    I like to grade coins and not plastic. I know you do too !

    Laura is correct a lot more than twice a year ..... and I'll bet you agree with me.

    terrific coins

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

  • tradedollarnuttradedollarnut Posts: 20,237 ✭✭✭✭✭
    My mistake - I entered the serial numbers WITH dashes on the CAC website. The 1794 cent and 1837 half are indeed CAC'd as I originally thought.

    LOVE the 1837 half dollar!
