Peter Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 This seems to be widespread in the sinister world of slabbing. Quote
VickySilver Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 I have shown a few coin previously that I have severe doubts on the grading - see the 1920 specimen half crown previously posted (at 61) & a matte 1951 also at MS61. Can't see how they are within even 3 points conservatively of grade after seeing them in all lights and magnification up to 30x. I have seen '02 matte crowns at 64 and 5 with wipes clearly visible and 62s that had none under any light or magnification. Quote

VickySilver Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 Craigy, these were in previous postings, and the reason I say that is I just never seem to be able to post pictures without help. If you email me I can send them to you & you may either look and/or repost them. The '51 still has the material they use for blasting the matte finish adhering to the devices on reverse... Quote
