<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 669763, member: 15309&quot;]Rusty,</p><p><br /></p><p>Take a look at this Heritage auction.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1102&amp;Lot_No=758#photo" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1102&amp;Lot_No=758#photo" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1102&amp;Lot_No=758#photo</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It should pretty much sum up what Hobo is saying with a perfect example.&nbsp; This coin is technically an AU58, but the eye appeal of the coin is such that it is more desirable than an MS62.&nbsp; The coin sold for MS63 price even though it is an AU58 coin with a price guide price of $4,225.&nbsp; The market tells us this coin is worth $10,950 which is MS63 money.&nbsp; Therefore, if the coin is market graded, it is an MS63.&nbsp; I would have no problem seeing this coin in an MS63 holder.&nbsp; However your point is well taken.&nbsp; Why not just grade it what it is and let the market decide the price.&nbsp; This auction shows that the collecting public does not need the help of the TPG in that regard.&nbsp; Toned coins show the same thing.&nbsp; Personally, I am easy.&nbsp; I will go along with whichever way the TPG&#039;s want to do it as long as they are consistent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
