[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 3758905, member: 15309"]I think they are graded correctly by PCGS and honestly, I would have been a little more harsh. 1984-P: This coin has many tiny marks on both sides that give it a decidedly un-gemlike appearance. My grade for this coin would have been MS64+FS 1997-D: This is the cream of the crop and has an amazing presence that usually accompanies an MS67 grade. Unfortunately, the marks on the coat collar and shoulder are grade limiting and I think that MS66 FS is the correct grade. 1976-D: Again, the obverse has a ton of little imperfections that you don't normally see on gem coins. The reverse is solid MS66, but I think you were very fortunate to get an MS66 FS grade for this coin. 1973-P: Not only does this coin have many small marks, it also has some more significant marks (eg in the hair above forehead, behind mouth, in field under chin).
