Today I Received.....

[onlyroadtoheaven]

Received from the Love Guru, or @BackyardBullion as you may know him. It comes with a guarantee that it will cure all marital problems and increase my sex life with the wife ... I have cancelled my playboy subscription in anticipation.

It really is a wonderful piece and I cant recommend enough the concept/idea of the accompanying video (available on his Youtube channel). The communication was superb throughout the process. I am sure the wife will love it on valentines day ... assuming I got our wedding date right for the inscription. A big thank you to a very talented man.

Thanks for the kind words my friend - "the Love Guru" that is a whole new concept for a Youtube channel! I hope your wife enjoys it and I hope you got the right date!

Ebay bucks came through once again! Later this week I'll have my first batch of 4 from NGC back... I'm very pleased with the grading of my first batch of gold coins!

Weakness in the eyes of some is great strength in the eyes of others.  ?

NGC has recently had some harsh criticism of PCGS on PCGS's alleged recent 'overly generous' grading standards. Personally, I use NGC myself for a variety of reasons including that they are better equipped (in my opinion) to authenticate and grade certain medals.....an area of numismatics that I am quite partial towards these days.

You looked at the wrong database coin at PCGS.

500 minted of the reverse proof

NGC graded 99

PCGS graded 26

70's graded by PCGS 11/26 (all First Strike)

70's graded by NGC 12/99

Possible reason why there are more PCGS 70 is that Apmex could sort out sets for First Strike and sold them.

[happy2gether]

Normal version of Britannia Proof 2016
NGC graded 1063
PCGS graded 58

70 grade
NGC 547 of 1063
PCGS 27 of 58

In % not that far away.

But only numbers. In real the set looks great. :-)

After disliking them at first I've developed a taste for the pandas, so this is what came through my mailbox today.

A 2017 panda and a 2017 full sovereign

That'll have to do for this month!

The thing is, you can turn anything around and see it in a different angle, so for example, the 200th Anniversary 5 Sov ONLY 16 from 156 submitted failed to get a 70 grade, if we were working to the same standards that people are applying for PCGS in their POOR grading, then this standard is pretty poor from NGC, yet nearly half  of the submitted coins to PCGS failed to get the same grade that NGC seem to have thrown at these coins.

Funny how you can turn around a TPG with numbers and stats....... It's all a game that these TPGs are playing with each other, don't be blinded by stats and pop reports, you may have to look deeper than us mortals can, corporate giant against corporate giant

All these figures are highly skewed by the impact of:

1. Does a bulk grading happen?
2. Does the mint do the initial bulk grading?
3. Where does the bulk grader choose? NGC or PCGS?

The £5 is not normal grading it's an arrangement to provide bulk graded coins and the bulk grading order specifies a percentage of 70's
