<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 3262973, member: 15309"]You can't accurately grade from photos, which is why the experts have this coin MS67 while you have it MS65. All I said was that if I saw the slab photo instead of the photo you posted originally, I would have guessed MS67. Did you not read where I thought the coin was either MS66 or MS67 and went with MS66 because the photo and other guesses made me think those were abrasions on the cheek?</p><p><br /></p><p>I would not buy any coin at this level with just a thumbnail picture, NO. But if I had photos of the quality that Heritage provides where I can see the entire coin in focus and zoom in on spots of interest, I would. In fact, I have purchased two MS68 Morgan Dollars sight unseen from Heritage Auctions using nothing but photos. For example:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/WzAJBUk.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>But alas, I don't just have the thumbnail photo to consider, I also have the fact that PCGS & CAC agree that the coin is a high end MS67 after seeing the coin in hand. Thought far outweighs your attempt at this "gotcha" gtg thread designed to discredit them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
