    I just put together a 1954 set in NGC pf66 cameo for under $400. The .5 , .10 and .25 were all in the $40-50 range. ( not much more than grading fees) Seems like pretty good value versus sending off my proof sets and trying to get those grades.

    I've always been curious about the consistency of grading... I suspect it's more of an art than science. Just for kicks, has anyone heard of anyone sending the same coin in , removed from the previous slab, like 10 times over a period of time and recording the results? Would be fun to know the spread of grades on the same coin.

    Hi, Ben. I don't like the fields on those 1955 coins, with the exception of the nickel, which isn't bad. I didn't like the 56 Franklin's field either. 😝I like this video more than the previous video. It looks a bit more fresh. I don't know about the "knob action" on that 1953 Washington. 🦉

    I hate to say it, but that 1948-S quarter did look like a 65 to me, but those 1881-S Morgans were all over the place. That was truly weird. It didn't feel like they were super conservative, or overgrading either. They seemed to be doing both.

  • @Chiknlitl

    So I was going to comment on the video with all the questionable color coins but got busy and forgot. Original toning on old coins should show a color progression, with pretty definite distinctions or layers. The colors can be very bright and be original, so long as they make sense. If a coin was in an old folder or bag for a long time, you will usually see the concentric rings of color progressing toward the center. If you see the bright colors on part of the surface, then they stop and the rest of the surface is blast white, then the coin was in a bag with other coins, and the part that is still white had a coin or coins against, preventing that part of the surface from interacting with the chemicals in the bag. Anytime I see the splotches of color I am immediately suspicious. Someone at some point likely dusted a holder with sulphur or other substance, or exposed the coin to different gasses and heat. Think of it like having a canvas and flicking a paintbrush at it, then another with a different color, and so on. The grading companies will almost always call that questionable.

  • @alwaysseekingsilver

    I don’t think you really lost on that last quarter. A 65 in a PCGS holder probably sells for very similar money as a 66 in NGC. Nice coin, either way.

    I would not be happy to get a coin back in a slab to find it crooked/rotated like that. Especially since it looks like a recent slab. They need to be more careful especially considering how much they charge.... I would be on the phone demanding a re slab.

    Yeah- agree on distinguishing between a 1955 proof 67 nickel from a 68. I have a hard time believing they don’t use some sort of tech or magnification beyond what they claim to find tiny little imperfections. To the eye, even with a 20 loop, there’s nothing there.

    They usually do not change on newer cases.I have seen some older slabs that have changed and would probably not get a straight grade today.Not sealed as well I suppose.I also think that exposing slabbed coins to frequent sunlight can tone even newer cased coins.
