<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tmoneyeagles, post: 930586, member: 17557&quot;]And you see, I was trying to hard to not show inconsistency in this thread.</p><p>The rim in the 1893-S isn&#039;t completely full, but I just couldn&#039;t grade it at an AG-3, and I totally understand why PCGS didn&#039;t as well. If it was an an AG-3 holder, that would be a PQ coin.</p><p>But all and all I have to agree with ya&#039; just a tad, looking straight at my ANA grading standards guide it depicts a coin with full rims. (Although, I think if somebody came along and tried to grade their Morgan Dollar with this guide, and it was a G-4, and theirs had full rims, I think they would accurately grade it, by studying the descriptions and pictures long enough. </p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I used 1893-S was it was a key date. I&#039;m not going to find 1880-S in G-4, but for some reason there might be a random key date in another grade that is lower. For that reason I wanted to avoid, not only inconsistency in the grading company I used, the grading company itself, but the coin year/mm I used, and I think, for the lower grades I did a good job of that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes some coins are graded differently due to many strike problems. 1892-O VF-35 might look like a piece of junk for a grade like that, but the strike was so poor for that year. I wanted to also used coins that didn&#039;t have many problems and if that year did have problems, I chose coins that didn&#039;t have many problems.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I did get lucky though, because I didn&#039;t have to look at very many coins to decide which coin I wanted to use for each grade, Heritage made this&nbsp; thread fairly easy for me! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you Ritchie <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
