Regardless of how low the grade is, if it's a proof then it will always be proof in their eyes

It boosts prices and profits

The pictures in the hammered section are of milled coins, at least 4 or 5 of them, never went any further after that, couldn't be arsed

The catalogue is a complete train wreck

Did'nt want to disapoint Rob

I wonder if its a buddy grade, i'll be surprised if that sells at all, thanks also sword. Also noticed lots of errors in the catalogue, milled in he hammered section, wrong pics etc, getting sloppy

Fairly surprised at the grade LCs have put on this Edward VI shilling, in fact i think it's pretty poor grading, loads of wear on the face and robe, mine is GVF as comparison

Yet he keeps getting away with it.......

hopefully a bit better

I noticed that also, but have also seen videos from PCGS who also handle them without gloves which really bloody irritates me, they should handle all these coins with gloves and especially so proofs. I uploaded the video because someone mentioned on here the reason LCGS were so good was because they have 3 graders for each coins, so now we know that NGC also have the same amount of graders, although they certainly took about 90 seconds to look over and submit the grade which i could also do if you sent me $30

Lol, since that was written in 2010 i must have forgotten all about it

The other problem is that you need to be a PCGS or NGC member before you could submit it, unless of course you handed it over to some 3rd party who would submit it for you but would obviously ask for a bigger fee for their time, as above, i wouldn't bother either

Someone here mentioned that PCGS and NGC only use one grader for each submission, not according to this walkthrough, they use 3. Anyway, as much as i'm getting from the video is that it's based on opinion and no exact science behind a grade, so if anyone wants to send me $30 and their coin i'll happily give you a grade, i'll get the wife to give me a 2nd opinion before i send it back

Hence the reason you should buy from reputable sources and dealers, those also exist on ebay and outside of ebay, there are even a few on here that may help you buy what you require, you only need ask.......

What a pile of junk.....I don't hold out much hope for the other either, or money back to be honest. Is there selling protection on this group?

Don't give her any ideas lol

Its actually pretty cool way to get rid of some of the ER II pennies or even just the scrap, wonder how many it took

Thank god they found a use, some of you boys may contribute http://wisetradesmen.com/news/create-a-floor-from-pennies

I think the main thing is, as we're seeing from Jaggys post and elsewhere is the fact that no one agrees on a grade of a coin especially when you're talking sheldon grading or whatever scale that LCGS use, points differences is IMO minimal. I'll always ask the same question, how do you differentiate an MS63 from a 64 or an LCGS 78 and 80, IMO it's just BS, when you're talking AU58 to MS63 onwards then there should be some differences, but 1 point is just talking through their rear blowhole

You should ask the wife Pete, she probably has all your cash

Here is how to do it on the MAC, click and open your picture, on the toolbar you'll see the tools tab, click on that and then there you can crop and adjust the size, bearing in mind you can only upload 500kb
