So you grade based on typical series standards but you later learn that most if not all of the coins are spectacularly struck. What you initially thought to be MS-69 is actually properly graded (according to your system) MS-66. What then becomes of the previously slabbed coins and how does the buyer then determine the difference?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
