What do you mean "some rubbing of bits"?

What do you mean "some rubbing of bits"?

Not sure but in the picture it looks like the public key has partially been rubbed off.

this is correct, hence the ms60 grade.

Does the hologram 's condition affect the grade? I thought they only looked at the coin itself.

Or, does the coin in general have some overall wear? I was thinking the same about ANACS and holograms, but still not sure.

the coin does have minor wear, i can post pictures of the reverse.

assuming the ms 60 grade relates to specific wear of the bits, usually these are printed on the anacs title but in this case have not been included.

Interesting, thanks. Do you think ANACS did that because they aren't entirely legible to the eye or because you didn't send the first bits on the form now that they don't require the extra $/note etc?

I guess some close up pics would be both cool and quite helpful. I am guessing ANACS doesn't give a rat's ass about the holograms, they grade metal coins, not laser-etched stickers, right?

i think anacs did this because the bits are not legible, they were included on the form just like all the others.

here the direct link closeups

Wow. Makes sense now, thanks!

it would appear with the start of anacs "cryptocurrency" category they now grade the hologram and not just the strike which is ridiculous in my opinion, grading guides for holograms?

personally i think the whole grading system really detracts from the coins, stuck in these plastic prisons and driven by the american market.

at least have grading done by a reputable company like ngc or pcgs, there's a reason they don't grade crypto. dont get me started on grading variations, resubmits etc...

[gentlemand]

Agreed but for better or worse it's become the gold standard and what buyers expect. I think the premiums they attract are pretty daffy but that's life.

You could contact ICG about their grading policy concerning holograms. PMed updated offer.

LEL.

How many times did I complain about shitty holos and nobody listened?

ANACS still sucks, ungraded ftw. Use your eyes, not someone else's.
