<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bahabully, post: 945592, member: 17555&quot;]Guess it&#039;s how pcgs interprets thier strike descriptors vs. how we (or I) intrepret them:</p><p>1 - &quot;not full&quot; MS60 to MS63.... I&#039;d call this coin not full...ie.- coins with obvious flat area&#039;s.... thereby limiting my grade to max 63.</p><p>2 - &quot;average&quot; MS63 to MS64....&nbsp; I&#039;d assume an average strike had near full detail, with some low points here and there, but no significant flat areas.</p><p>3 - &quot;above average&quot; MS64 to MS65... I&#039;d see this as full detail... no flat areas at all, but maybe low points in the visibile detail... almost not notable to the naked eye.</p><p>4 - &quot;good strike to very good strike&quot; MS66... full detail period.&nbsp; nothing visible to the naked eye... maybe a few low points notable under 5-10x</p><p>5 - &quot;very well struck to full strike&quot; MS67 to MS70.... I can&#039;t really tell the difference between strikes in this range....... between the perfect strike to the naked eye and eye appeal,, the coin should make you say &quot;wow&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ve seen exceptions to my intreptation of these pcgs descriptions myself... I have a MS65 33 with some slight flatness on the same part of the reverse,, not nearly as bad, but visible to the naked eye.&nbsp;&nbsp; Also have a 25D that&#039;s nearly as flat as a pancake in MS63...&nbsp; details on it wouldn&#039;t get past a VG10.....</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>PCGS should describe thier descriptors... lol....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
