[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 494546, member: 15309"]Speedy, We don't have our eyes closed to the facts that the different mints used different standards during production. We know that and understand it. We simply are not willing to make allowances for that fact and instead think the mint that decided to use lesser standards be held accountable for their lack of production quality. Under the current system of grading that makes allowances for date and mint, these two coins are graded the same.

Do you really think that collectors would have a problem seeing that coin in an MS64 Holder?[/QUOTE]
