<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1930115, member: 15199&quot;]I think it would come back as a MS-62 ish coin with no PL , let alone DMPL. These are defined by the reflected image distance, and this seller has basically no distance. The regular photos show little luster and a lot of dings. It has been price-pimped by the one bidder with 3 transactions or it might be close to value, being a cc.&nbsp; I suspect that bidder is only looking at some price list with 83CC-DMPL and not knowing what it means.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes the deception is not intentional, but just ignorance of grading and appearance.&nbsp; If a coin belongs to you it is worth + 30%, if you are buying , it is worth -30% ( in general of course) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Buy a good grading book and study, and then you have the advantage.</p><p><br /></p><p>My son has finally realized, he will inherit the collection and he doesn&#039;t want to get taken advantage of, so he asked for this book on grading, which I tried to talk him out of at first, but finally ordered it to keep up his interest, and I am amazed at how good he has become with these series. It is different from how I learned ( had black and white real photos), but it was perfect for him. He used it with real examples, so it was much easier.&nbsp; He asks opinions, but soon I will have to ask him ( and I will love that day !!)</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/MAKING-GRADE-Comprehensive-Grading-Guide/dp/0944945635/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1401478354&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=grading+coins" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.com/MAKING-GRADE-Comprehensive-Grading-Guide/dp/0944945635/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1401478354&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=grading+coins" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/MAKING-GRADE-Comprehensive-Grading-Guide/dp/0944945635/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1401478354&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=grading+coins</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
