Ben, allow me to praise your loupe work. Seamless and perfect, showing me exactly what I want to see. Always feels like a nice visit at the coin store, you and your amusing patter. Great stuff.
I just purchased a 1921 Peace Dollar in an ANACS holder from a Dealer and it is "AU 50 Details Cleaned" For the Life of me! I cannot see how this coin was cleaned! It's a beauty, nice tone no real scratch's, a few small dings from other coins. I'm very happy with it but again I cannot see what the grader saw!
Yes turning a coin upside helps immensely in getting a more accurate idea of grade - why? The light hits the devices differently and what was once shadowed is in full light. Therefore, you can detect additional scratches, bag marks and hairlines.
It is important to consider the 'guarantee' that goes with a PCGS slab. Consider that if i recieve a coin PCGS slabbed and graded F 12 and i spend $14K on it and after careful comparison with PCGS's photograde detemine the coin is an F 8. The difference in the PCGS price guide between 8 and 12 is nearly $10K. If i send it to PCGS for 'resubmission" and they agree it is an 8. They must either purchase it at $20K or give me a check for the difference, (10K) and reholder it with an 8 grade. No other grading service will do that, and i think it explains why PCGS is slightly more conservative then ANACS and NGC.
Let's hope our crossover project does a little better with the "cross at any straight grade" submission. But I understand not wanting to downgrade from a soapbox holder. Nice show!
Excellent video. Thumb's up! Question pls...I noticed that on (none) of the coins' attempted crossover to PCGS, was it brought up to: place a minimum grade, one point below, the current ANACS' grade. Had that been done, wouldn't it be likely that many more would/could have crossed? (and that raises the question: Is the coin more valuable, for those that didn't cross and didn't have damage, to be a PCGS at one point lower?)
I consider myself a novice coin collector. I think I liked every problem coin you showed. Those full head quarters were a.azing. and I don't even have any or interest. But maybe...
Morgans are a really beautiful design and they are very popular.For myself, I have never been able to look past those ugly dark bag marks that are found on so many of them. Personal taste.
What is your opinion on NGC and PCGS when grading 2023 coins? When they get a flood of Silver Eagles, do they really examine them or just grade them at a glance? Thanks.
I don’t know how many times I’ve seen a “cleaned” coin graded by PCGS that… I just don’t see any evidence of cleaning. I guess that’s why they’re the experts and I’m not.
Several of these are just one grade too high. I wonder if it would be advantageous to accept a one-grade downgrade to cross it over to PCGS. I used to think old soap box ANACS were conservatively graded .... apparently not!
I find this whole process an exercise in vanity. The grading companies seem to be more interested in their reputation rather than the grade of the coin in front of them. What difference does it make of a coin crosses or not? Is this an attempt to get more money for a coin? Do collectors care about this? I have over fifty Morgan's in mint state, but I am discouraged about trying to obtain more because the difference between AU and BU is hundreds to thousands of dollars. very discouraging.

Jesus that 1917 type one, 63FH looks like an undergrade to me. Maybe the slightest amount of pvc but frankly i dont think i care. absolute stunner
Ty Ben
And every 1 else at old Pueblo
Tyty .
Interesting stuff. I have to agree with PCGS on this batch. Nice coins still and I love those old ANACS holders. Cheers!
Thanks for all the awesome knowledge! WOW, that 80 CC 😍
Best coin channel!
4:54 1917 Type I Quarter MS63
22:55 1891-CC Morgan MS63
That was a lovely variety of Morgans. It's a shame so many didn't cross
Interesting point about grading with the coin upside down. Once again Coin Geek University comes through with a useful tidbit.
I like the toning and look of the 1865 CN3C. The clashed dies look interesting.

Nice motel soap bars!
I love the 1939 5 cent you have there ❤❤❤

Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the grade coins upside down trick. I'll have to try that one later today.

1891 cc spitting eagle....and IMO the scratch is a staple scratch from removing from holder.
Might be able to get away with dipping the 17 Standing Liberty for the pvc
Hi, Ben. In your opinion, why is the reverse on mint state Morgan Dollars often nicer than the obverse?
More high points on the obverse?

When you have a coin that is PL, they should tell you whether the coin missed on the PL or the number grade.

Love your videos BBRRROOOO 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

you should crack out that 1917 and dip it to see if itll take the pvc off and straight grade after?
Why doesn’t the grading company explain in short term why wasn’t a coin excepted?

What do you think the value of physical silver is in comparison to the paper spot price?
Does NGC have the same service, where they don't cross over if it doesn't grade the same or better?
You have many dangerous gifts.
PVC on the leg of the standing liberty 1917 ?
Hi Ben, may i ask what brand of you camera?
You don't have to go, oh....
Thanks- I think about that stuff -! I’ll try to cool it

Definitely not a DMPL
Grading, beyond authenticity, is voodoo to me. What’s the point of trying to cross grade?
Anacs are seen as less reliable/consistent so buyers are reluctant to invest in them without in person evaluation
We'll take the highly inflated grading fee and be lazy and vague on our services!!!

i think most of these would cross at any grade. it's better to have a pcgs 62 than a anacs 63. who cares about anacs soap dish holders.
1928 Peace Dollar.....a gorgeous raw 64 just walked into my buddies shop al9ng with a 1921....got the 21 been debating on the 28 😢
same type of coin again and again and again, how is that not boring?
Are PCGS hiring scrubs off the street like, hey come grade coins one and all!!….?????
You have many dangerous gifts.
