<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jay4202472000, post: 1892441, member: 42573&quot;]Cremebrule, please don&#039;t take offense.&nbsp; As I stated before, I think the coin is extremely beautiful.&nbsp; I would be proud to be the owner.&nbsp; My question is how can this coin come back graded MS?&nbsp; If you compare to PCGS photograde online, this coin shouldn&#039;t be any higher than XF45.&nbsp; More than likely XF40.&nbsp; There are a couple of curls that have flat spots.&nbsp; If PCGS doesn&#039;t care about a technical grade, why do people hold them in such high regards?&nbsp; Everything I have read on grading says the difference between MS &amp; circulated is all about wear on the surface.&nbsp; I, personally, care more about eye appeal, and this coin certainly has that.&nbsp; I have seen some XF-AU woodie Lincolns that I would rather have than a shiny, red MS64.&nbsp; That still doesn&#039;t change the fact that the high points of Lincoln&#039;s hair have been removed.&nbsp; Am I way off base here?&nbsp; Please help me understand this guys.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
