[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 1061257, member: 17557"]That is a broad statement. Grading can be done with photos, it is never a guarantee. The thing I am presenting to you is this. There are clearly marks on that coin with the photos provided in the original post. Which is why 6 out of 7 people, other than the original poster in this thread, before the grades were revealed chose MS64 or MS63. Nobody can really grade from photos, I agree it is a shot in the dark, but when you are presented with sharp in detail photos, taken by a good photographer, you take the photo's "word for it." Even with the new photo, I still cannot agree with NGC's grade of MS66. (And because there is no way around this argument, if it were in hand, it may be different) But considering that all the photos that have been shown are of the same coin, and considering the quality of photos from the poster, I'd be willing to say that my opinion wouldn't change much.[/QUOTE]
