My point was that people who seems to think getting high grades is the easiest and that they just sit down and "i.e., of setting the grade based on what the market will swallow." aka put the max possible grade on something are almost always people that have little to no experience grading them. The market grading aspect is a small part of the grading equation and often times you can see it reflected more with holding back coins that would be low end for the next grade up where there is a big jump with the other big impact being what color is acceptable. </p><p><br /></p><p>If the OPs coin was market graded it would be at least a 65. A common 64 for that date is about a 100 dollar coin if that, if that coin went to auction it should sell for much closer to 65 money. The one thing the OPs coins did show very well though is how much the type of picture can impact what grade people will guess.
