<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 870120, member: 15309"]When I was grading that Jefferson I was torn between MS64 & MS65. Once I saw that the coin was graded by PCGS, I immediately guessed MS64 as PCGS is more conservative. And although that is true, it really on applies in the premium gem grades. PCGS is much more hesitant to award MS67 grades than NGC but their standards for MS65 are much closer. It doesn't surprise me that the coin is in an MS65 holder. The RPM may indeed have been the deciding factor. The TPG's will routinely bump key date coins up in grade. The varieties in the Jefferson series including the RPM's are the keys. I can't say definitively because I don't really collect that part of the Jefferson series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
