Sometimes we get so frustrated viewing hyped descriptions that we are tempted to write our own. Click to expand photo above and see whom you agree with, the auctioneer or Proxiblog?
We wonder sometimes how auctioneers, especially those who deal regularly in coins–or even are coin dealers–can post descriptions like these. The auctioneer sees “beautiful”; we see “dipped.” The auctioneer sees “wonderful”; we see scratch; the auctioneer sees “stunning”; we see bag marks; the auctioneer sees a rare 1901 Morgan; we see a common 1901-O Morgan.
Oh, well. Grading is subjective, right?
