<p>[QUOTE="Breakdown, post: 917210, member: 19532"]Paul, I voted MS65 with FS -- PCGS might have given it a 64 instead since you say they grade a point or so below NGC on Jeffersons. I assume the marks on the chin are discounted as you have explained before that Jeffersons have these marks rather commonly and are therefore graded differently -- a Buffalo with such marks would not be in a 65 holder. Looks FS to me.</p><p>Now that grade might astound some but I am basing it on other Jeffersons you have posted and how you have explained they are graded.</p><p> </p><p>*Now I have read the thread -- I wrote the above without others' views or knowing the actual grade PCGS assigned. I voted what I thought PCGS would grade and assumed Lehigh wanted to shock us. The marks seem pretty severe In Doug's blown-up photo, I will admit. Also, since the obverse is more important in the grade, it is hard to justify a 65. I still think the rest of the coin is nice -- no, I wouldn't buy it but it is interesting for learning purposes.</p><p> </p><p>By the way, Doug and others voted what they would grade it, not what grade would they expect PCGS to grade it. I voted based on how I thought PCGS graded the coin because that's how I interpreted the poll.*[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
