    Yes another metal that people were assuming would do well as it was traditionally a lot higher vs gold and therefore would be so again 🫢

    I have asked my Mint manager for an explaination, and asked them to honour my 'previous winning bid position'.

    What makes you think there is any gold in this piece, any hallmarks?
    looking at the size and thickness of the "coins" I doubt they will be more than 9 ct if gold, probably less.

    I went a couple of times before the covid debacle. It was OK but you need to get there early as most of the dealers can't wait to get off as soon as they can in the afternoon.

    Just as NGC often under grade shields, PCGS often overgrade, I have seen it many many times.
    The weak strike on the lions is real, I am not so convinced by the head, there looks like some mechanical damage to my eyes. Even if it is, the lustre and eye appeal on both sides is poor and negates the high grade imho

    It has better eye appeal than the '41

    Honest answer?
    I've always thought that grading companies are far more lenient of rarer coins than common coins. I've seen it many times where a coin grading 'VG' is described as exquisite and having a beautiful rich tone and some remnants of being strongly struck with bold lettering. Of course such a coin would be a 1790s era US mint coin. A 1971 Lincoln cent in similar condition would be described as utter junk.
    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
    The truth about grading is that it is NOT scientific. The Sheldon scale includes eye appeal as one of the valid descriptors of grade in MS grade. Eye appeal is totally subjective.

    You really need both. Some of the older edition books will be a little out of date but there are some gems of knowledge in them.
    There have been a number of threads on this forum over the years with some good recommendations so a quick forum search should find you some details to go at.
