[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 2985989, member: 76863"]Easier to grade in the sense of figuring out uncirculated or circulated, but most people seem to struggle with accurately grading moderns since they don’t collect them or have unrealistic expectations/think they’re all super high grades. Their standards aren’t universally more lax than ngc. They have different standards on certain things, but most people will say they are tighter graders especially at the high end. For the coin in question the picture isn't good enough to tell. Grading from BOTH PCGS and NGC has provided pretty strong evidence that the grading as evolved where a hit or planchet mark that wasn't struck out is no longer an automatic disqualification for FS or FBL. We can certainly have a debate about whether or not any mark should disqualify those designations, but right now I haven't seen anything that indicates that the standard is to exclude anything with any sort of mark.[/QUOTE]
