Another crappy home made slab

Hmmm... I wonder if calling something "Downies gVF" would get a higher price than just "gVF"?

Not from me it wouldn't. :ok:

Of course we know it's actually the generic Sheldon system which PCGS the company applies to it's slabs.

Hmmm... I wonder if calling something "Downies gVF" would get a higher price than just "gVF"? Because that's what seems to be happening with PCGS.

Whichever system one chooses (and Sheldon seems more consistent and easier to follow), there is no justification for including a company name in the description. Other than trying to deceive, of course. :diablo:

:agreed:
It is becoming strange where people are buying a company name without actually looking at the coin in detail :dash1:
As a comparison there are many brands of fish fingers but I still swear by el cheapo Black and Gold fish fingers because they are the best IMHO.
I buy the fish finger NOT the box, apply this to slabbed coins and all is good :ok:
As for Downies , I would much rather trust the grading from people like Walter and Eric Eigner, Enwarb and Markn over them anyday :good:

In that listing, "Minor detracting marks can be seen. A very nice example with a sharp strike and little wear".

I did a lookup of the coin number and it doesn't match the PCGS database.

I posted a question to him saying that it doesn't match and he said he would look into it.

The auction is now removed from ebay.
