<p>[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 8092228, member: 105098"]I'm very conservative when judging my own coins, to a fault. what I'll call AU will come out MS65 or lower, but many coin dealers in my area would call it AU if it's ungraded also. Of course I'm into more modern coins, I don't have the skill where a MS64 or MS65 might matter let's say because with moderns if it's not top grade, it's just one of many many regular coins that shouldn't have been graded.</p><p><br /></p><p>It's ok to be conservative and be pleasantly surprised, it's better than overestimating it and being disappointed. so being extra critical isn't a bad thing in my opinion. still, being wrong is being wrong, and we all strive to get it right, I just resigned my self to the idea that I have no idea how the grading companies actually settle on a grade..LOL[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
