<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3523342, member: 101855&quot;]It’s really impossible to give you an accurate answer to a question like this from photographs. The grading gets to be so precise when you get to MS-66 and above that a personal examination is required.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking at your coins, if there is one small mark that easy to see with a 10X glass, like a scratch on Lincoln’s coat, the coin is out of the running. Also the strike has to be needle sharp. You can’t have any missing detail on the steps as a previous poster pointed out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, you are barking up the wrong tree if you are depending upon NGC to provide you with the $14 thousand record breaking cent. Like the late Rodney Dangerfield, “NGC don’t get no respect” when it comes to ultra high priced modern coins. It has to be PCGS graded.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reasons for that are two fold. First, the PCGS Registry is where it’s at to get the super respect that registry addicts crave. The NGC Registry is an also ran. Second, PCGS is, on average, a bit tighter in their grading of these coins, at least they used to be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
