[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 2094127, member: 73489"]Great info, JPC, thanks !:cigar: Wonder why both gave info on how to grade an MS-65 and referenced MS-67 instead of MS-66 instead......... I have trouble telling AU-58's from MS-63's, so for me to say if it's MS-65 or 64 is too much for me at this point. If I see an MS-65 and 67 side-by-side I am likely going to be able to tell them apart because the 67 has so fewer marks that that is the "tell." But when you have to COUNT or GUESTIMATE lots of bag marks and scratches and wear, then WEIGHING them all is something I find more difficult. What I really need is a CHECKLIST where I go down the list because sometimes I focus on bag marks and scratches and forget to look for wear on high points...or forget luster...or tiny 'dings' on the edge (though they usually stick out)....reminds me of cleaning my room as a child, I always forgot something and my mother never let me forget !:D[/QUOTE]
