    I put 'em both at dead even, for different reasons.

    And I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but somebody needs to go over and slap the guys at PCGS to wake 'em up because I agreed with the 65 :woot:

    I guessed the 46 as I was scrolling through the thread before I got to the result. At first the die polish lines got to me but then realized that this shouldn't affect the grade. Then it is a matter of color and luster which is better on the 46.

    To the contrary, it should. Die polish lines are a flaw, a mistake, they should not be there. And as such they must affect the grade in a detrimental manner just like a weak strike, contact marks, hairlines, quality of luster or anything else affects the grade.

    If you have two coins, and all other things are equal with the exception of one having die polish lines and the other not, then the coin without them must grade higher.

    I agree they should, but do the TPGs actually dock the grade because of them? My assumption in my post is that they don't.

    I'm not disputing that, you are correct. But then the TPGs do a whole lot of things that they should not do when grading coins. And don't do what they should do.

    The real mistake however, is that people accept the nonsensical grades assigned by the TPGs.
