From my very first blogs back in 2012 I warned you, the readers, about the issue with 1960 broken back rims on Armour coins and singled out Mickey Mantle as the worst coin for this type of damage.
Unfortunately this was not limited to buying this coin raw, since PSA was WAY WAY over grading these coins and they could be found as PSA 8s, PSA 9s and even PSA 10s !!!
Below is the first pic I used to explain the problem.
Did PSA mend their ways ?? or did those with such coins stop grading and trying to sell them to the general Mantle loving public - HELL NO !
Below is a Mantle blue sold in 2018 where you can actually see the broken back rim laying on top of the coin. Is this a PSA 8 to you ??
Then there is the infamous red orange PSA 10 that I mentioned a few years ago which I will show again below with 40% of the back rim missing.
How did any of these make it by the supposed triple grading at PSA ??
