<p>[QUOTE="spock1k, post: 224523, member: 7043"]I have a very big dislike for scratches. Thats why i used the term net. Now i know most people say that scratches dont lower the grade that drastically. But if i put myself in the buyer shoes and buy this and send it off to pcgs for grading then in my mind i would have to be happy with the result so as to know that i wasnt ripped off. But as you said its very subjective and I have lost out on quite a few deals int he past with my approach so if the experts are saying its ms 65 then i would go with that . </p><p><br /></p><p>I look at over all beauty of the coin. the wear on high points, scratches bag marks, luster etc. Its better to be wrong and grade conservatively when one is buying IMHO then it is when selling just protects my bottom line as more often than not I have a small budget and can let many coins go by till i get something I really like.
