Message:: [QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1948940, member: 37839"]That is fine with me.  I was trying to make peace after that debacle over the Trade Dollar, but you don't wish to be peaceful. You're being personal, and I was commenting on grading of coins--a vast difference between the two.   That is just peachy-one can't please everybody.  I was stating that the coin is definitely a MS 66 and is likely to get a CAC sticker.  I was likewise stating that someone was grading it much too severely, and I stand on that point, based on years of Morgan collecting. ANA standards have not been compromised in grading this coin a gem proof like coin.  First of all, the pictures are yellow and grainy--not the best from which to grade.  Second of all, it is proof like.  A lot of PL coins do have some die polish impacts, which is the reason they're proof like in the first place.  Third, while TPGs do get it wrong sometimes, they have a 90%+ accuracy rate, which is way beyond ANY layperson's ability to grade.  Market grading is done by average individuals (How many times did owners of raw coins debate "my 1893s is EF, not high VF").  Basically, it falls down to judgement calls, and IMHO, the TPG got it right with this coin, and they generally do get it right.[/QUOTE]
