<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 42902, member: 112&quot;]Howdy ghostrider - Welcome to the Forum !!</p><p><br /></p><p>This one is kinda tough to call. I agree with you, if that coin had its luster it would be a 65 - 66 easy. But without the luster - aint gonna happen. </p><p><br /></p><p>This post kinda goes along with some other comments I made recently in another thread regarding grading. A coins grade is made up of several factors - it&#039;s the sum total of all factors considered. And the lack of one factor can easily be made up for by the excellence of the others. That&#039;s what you have with this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing lacking with this coin is luster and as a result some eye appeal. But it is nearly mark free and has an excellent strike. Somebody destroyed the luster by over-dipping the coin. But even with the luster gone the coin still grades MS as the other facots make up for it. I would say that if you submitted that coin to NGC or PCGS it would grade MS63 - and I would not be surprised to see MS64. Others may disagree - but that is my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
