<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lkeigwin, post: 1171451, member: 30400&quot;]What is surprising is that no one guessed the grade correctly. Maybe it&#039;s because we don&#039;t get to see many MS68&#039;s, except perhaps for modern stuff. Maybe it&#039;s because we look at minuscule flaws exaggerated by huge pictures and conclude they&#039;re lethal. Or maybe folks want to be seen as tough graders with high standards so they err on the low side. Who knows.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin in question is a solid 68. The link above has images of MS67 examples for 1943 and 1943-S, as well as another 40-50 MS67 wheaties to compare.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for PCGS being conservative, well, not too many experienced collectors would disagree with this. I am not referring to organizations like the EAC, with their own notions or standards...simply to the guys we are paying to grade and slab our coins.</p><p>Lance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
