[QUOTE="ddddd, post: 3605177, member: 22377"]In my opinion, the two 67s don't deserve it. To me all three coins were close (I'd give them all something in the 65-66 range). Unless the standard for 67 has shifted? I disagree that #2 had a toning bump. Looking at many 63s and 64s, it is much cleaner and has strong luster. I've owned and looked through a bunch of Morgans over the past few years and even in 65, the cheek and fields are almost always worse than with this coin. So the other part of the twist is that #2 was cracked and sent in again. It was part of my recent submission with the Franklin and Eagle (other threads). Based on what I'm seeing lately (including color bumps), I thought #2 should upgrade. I was thinking it was closer to a modern day 66 (technical 65 and a 1 point color bump). It came back with the same 65 grade. I learned that if I'm going to complain about grading, then I shouldn't be able to benefit from the spoils. :D[/QUOTE]
