[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1416640, member: 112"]A lot of people get confused with coins like this one, even when they see them in hand, not understanding how such a coin could be worthy of the grade assigned. They seem to think that every coin graded MS65 or higher must have bright, shiny, silvery, luster. Or bright rainbow colors that let the luster come through. Well, that simply is NOT the case. Coins similar to the one posted can be graded, and accurately graded, even as high as MS67. And they have been graded as such, and rightly so. This is because there are many different criteria that go into the grading of a coin. And it is the sum of these criteria that determine the grade, not just the aspect of one individual criteria. And that goes both ways, but the TPGs don't always see it that way.[/QUOTE]
