<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Breakdown, post: 851408, member: 19532&quot;]At the risk of beating this into the ground, let&#039;s take a hypothetical (I can hear the groans).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>First, assume that PCGS and NGC both give a 1938-D Walker a technical grade of 65.4 (since they&#039;re now internally grading coins to three digits).

If I understand your answer, Doug, NGC would also grade it MS66 without a star.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, NGC says they award the star to coins with &quot;exceptional&quot; eye appeal. However, this must be an &quot;exceptional&quot; that is not enough to warrant a grade bump.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>By the way, I would like that hypothetical 38-D Walker, regardless of the holder.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
