<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 204546, member: 4920&quot;]I think what happened with this PCGS 65, very simply-stated, is that they rounded the grade up. They saw this coin as a strong 64 (...a 64.75, if you will). But in the absence of a fractional (&quot;sliding&quot;) grading scale, how does a grading company communicate that? </p><p><br /></p><p>And the marketplace, they got the message. Six bidders on this one, and they bid it in half of its &quot;book&quot; at that time (2003).</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, hold your horses...I learned the same way you did! If a coin doesn&#039;t break the ice, it doesn&#039;t break the ice. It stays in the lower grade. But, think of it. What do you do with a 64.95? </p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line (and, I&#039;ve seen other examples of this with PCGS), they tend to round up. That isn&#039;t traditional. But, its the way they do it (again, that is, from what I&#039;ve seen).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
