<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 4281574, member: 73165&quot;]I chose coin A as the higher grade, but I prefer coin B, because, as [USER=19250]@Paddy54[/USER] said, I buy with my eyes.&nbsp; Even in the old slab, I find it hard to believe anyone thought that coin A was an MS-61.&nbsp; Had you shown me an ANA slab, I might have believed it, but I think somebody got robbed at MS-61, and I bet [USER=19250]@Paddy54[/USER] got a good deal because of that number. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I agree that grading is a bit subjective; experienced people can easily differ +- 1 in MS grades, and, often the choice between two grades in the circulated grades is debatable.&nbsp; But, what you&#039;ve shown here isn&#039;t that.&nbsp; You&#039;ve got a coin that was undergraded years ago, IMO, and undergraded to a tougher prevailing standard.&nbsp; I would have not been surprised to see that coin at MS-62 or MS-63 in the ANACS slab.&nbsp; A better way to show how grading is subjective would be to get two coins of the same date, graded by the same company, in the same slab generation side by side.&nbsp; I kind of doubt you could find a pair like that that are 5 grades apart!</p><p><br /></p><p>Either way, I don&#039;t blame you for buying and liking both.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
