<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 556988, member: 15309&quot;]Take a look at this toned Jefferson Nickel that sold for 9X wholesale price on E-Bay tonight.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26ssPageName%3DSTRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT%26item%3D260381893710" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26ssPageName%3DSTRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT%26item%3D260381893710" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&amp;item=260381893710</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The first thing you notice is the incredible toning, which although attractive, most certainly falls in the realm of at least QT (questionable) and at worst AT (artificial).&nbsp; However, the sellers points out that the coin looks much better than the assigned grade of MS62.&nbsp; I have seen many graded Jeffersons and if this coin is an MS62, I will eat my own hat.&nbsp; You might be able to get away with MS64, but this coin looks like a gem to me.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My question is this.&nbsp; Did PCGS deliberately encapsulate this questionably toned coin and then reduce the grade in order to compensate?&nbsp; Market grading taken to a new level by punishing the coin for having questionable toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>What say you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
