<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 3608763, member: 15309&quot;]I don’t like that we even call it a grade bump. It is simply a holistic form of grading.&nbsp; Yes, a coin with an MS63 surface preservation level and gem grade luster &amp; eye appeal deserves an MS64 grade.&nbsp; Too often we get stuck in the mindset that surface preservation is the end all be all, and should serve as a grade limiter. That is completely contrary to the market grading system.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the context of this conversation, I’m not talking about color bumps, rather I’m saying that MS68 &amp; MS69 20th century silver coins almost always display extravagant eye appealing toning that separates them from their untoned counterparts with similar surfaces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
