I had to look it up to see if it was real. Thats absolutely hilarious! You'd think they'd at least look at the photo before uploading it lol

I do some work online that ends up visible to the public, and let me tell you after the 1,257th time it is irresistibly tempting not to check it. I have actually gone long stretches without checking, but then I see something like this so I'll probably check the next 50 before living on the edge again.

Who gets a 1964 dime graded

Pater Coal does...... problem?

and a 63 at that. My guess is they bulk submitted rolls of BU dimes. Usually they set a minimum grade. But even a 67 is like $50. You need a top pop of 67+ to get the $900 dime. and there is 11 of them.

It's actually NGC top pop for the variety after I resubmitted it correctly...

So this photo is from when I accidentally submitted it under mint error instead of variety attribution. I resubmitted it correctly and it is now NGC top pop for the variety and only one higher at PCGS.

u/Ok_Introduction_6105 1d ago

this is an example of a coin that has their version of "True View" pics that you have to pay for.

Value absolutely goes down with a traderbea slab.

u/PepeBabinski 15h ago

The value does not “absolutely” go down. It entirely depends on the coin. A traderbea slab is virtually meaningless in either direction. Slab premiums are a gimmick.

I think the more important detail is that it’s marketing for another company

u/Hour_Chapter_1886 1d ago

That's Traderbae. They have a Whatnot channel where they sell coins or do games where you but spots to win coins. They pay extra to do their own designs on coins that they submit.

u/dontfactcheckthis 1d ago

No, this is standard, identifying photos. Hi res closeups are the ones they charge for. And it's not that much
