[QUOTE="Gregg, post: 3200489, member: 90419"]I learn by prodding people who know more than I know. This gets them to explain things in detail - many times I'm shown to be wrong. I've been very clear about my level of knowledge. I think the problem you're facing in this particular discussion (regardless of the value of that Franklin or its actual grade) is that apparently it was previously graded at MS66 and is now an MS67+. If the coin hasn't changed in that time [I]then PCGS doesn't agree with itself on the grade (1). [/I] If one claims the coin is MS66 and currently over-graded then the experts at PCGS would have agreed with that assertion at one point. PCGS (1) would have had to be wrong once, or at the very least, the whole thing is subjective to the tune of 100K. I don't see a way out of that and it seems to leave plenty of wiggle room for the forum detractors. So was the MS66 grade wrong or is the MS67+ grade wrong? NOTES ---------------------------------------------------------- 1: Assuming it was graded by PCGS as MS66 at some point. I've not seen proof of that and I'm working off hearsay.[/QUOTE]
