<p>[QUOTE="happycobra, post: 70129, member: 3750"]Are all examples of a given coin graded as MS64, by the same company worth the same amount of money? How many times have you looked though a box of coins to find the perfect hole filler, only to say to yourself, “ if it just wasn’t so ugly”? The existent of tone and marks are totally subjective to the buyer just as it is to the grader. </p><p><br /></p><p>Laser grading coins is a good idea though.
