<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 2322151, member: 37839&quot;]I think that some may be forgetting that there is a sub range within the MS 65 grade.&nbsp; There are coins just right for the grade, and they will be pretty clean, with very minimal bag marks.&nbsp; There are coins low in grade, that will display many more contact marks, and perhaps, a bit less luster.&nbsp; Then, there are the ones that are high in grade; coins that did not get sent for a CAC, and ones that escaped the plus designation, but are still much cleaner than an average coin.&nbsp; I feel the reason so many people said 64 on this coin pictured is that it looks low to minimally average in grade for a 65.&nbsp; There are more than the normal amounts of disrupted surfaces that one would expect for a solid 65.&nbsp; That is where I feel this coin lies--a technical 65, according to a reliable TPG, but minimally so--not at the high end of what one would expect for that grade.&nbsp; Also, remember that CC dollars do get a psychological and probably real bump in grading, as they are perceived as more rare (which they actually are not, as so many survived in the GSA horde).&nbsp; So, accept that a lot of coins that one would not normally associate with the grade of 65 are 1882-1884CC Morgans, and don&#039;t be surprised if you see a coin that looks like a clear 64 with 65 grading on it--that is reality.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
