<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 8320730, member: 15309&quot;]While I agree with you general sentiment, I think it is wise to consult others for their opinions when my assigned grade is so far away from the TPG assigned grade.&nbsp; Like most of the CT members, I had expected this coin to grade MS66 5FS.&nbsp; I am almost never 2 grades higher than NGC.&nbsp; If the majority of the forum members had said this coin was MS64/65, I would have to wonder what I was missing.&nbsp; Instead, most people think the coin is premium gem which leaves only the possibility that NGC net graded this coin for some reason.&nbsp; Since nobody has seen an issue that could cause a net grade, my conclusion is that my initial opinion on the grade was correct and that NGC made a mistake. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with the FS designation.&nbsp; The standard for the reverse of 38 is different.&nbsp; It allows for both interruptions and bridges as long as the overall step detail is good (which it is) and that the 5th step is complete under the 3rd pillar (which it is IMO).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have already spend $22 to have this coin graded once, another trip to NGC or PCGS is going to bring my total cost to $50 and greysheet on a 1938-D MS66 5FS is only $75.&nbsp; I really hate putting myself in a situation where the best I can hope for is to break even.&nbsp; There is no way that PCGS will grade this coin MS67 FS, and I doubt an NGC regrade will yield a 3 point bump either.&nbsp; My only real choice is to crack it and resubmit to NGC.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
