<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2722212, member: 112&quot;]We&#039;re not talking about value here, we&#039;re talking about grade. Lemme see if I can explain it a different way. Say you were trying to grade cars, would grade an ordinary Chevy or Ford the same way you&#039;d grade a Ferrari ? Of course not. But the Chevy or Ford may justly be be graded and 65 and the Ferrari a 65 as well. But yet the differences between them would be astronomical. When you look at the two it would be like comparing a work of art to a mud fence.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, that&#039;s what we got with the early S mint Morgans - they&#039;re a Ferrari. And the flip side of that would be comparing some of O mint Morgans (not all of them mind you, but some) to the rest of the Morgans. Some of those O mint coins are graded more leniently than others because their entire mintage was a piece of crap, even when compared to an average Morgan.</p><p><br /></p><p>edit - What I&#039;m trying to get across is that you have to know the nuances of the coins when grading them. There are few exceptions, but only a few.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As a general rule - yes. But there are always 3-4 little, I hate to use the tabs but I don&#039;t know what else to call them, that hold the coin in place.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
