<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 451799, member: 5233&quot;]Wow, I had never thought of that before.&nbsp; Very interesting and good information.&nbsp; Thank you for sharing that!</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with you on allowances being made, but I do think yours is somewhat of an unfair example.&nbsp; Those matte coins were struck for collectors and intended to have a suburb strike.&nbsp; A don&#039;t think a strike of that quality is going to be seen with real business strike coins.&nbsp; I think you can hold the matte coin as an example of what &quot;perfect&quot; strikes are and try and find a coin as close as possible...but I don&#039;t think you can grade the two coins with the same criteria.&nbsp; The matte coin is produced differently (because the dies are prepared slightly differently and close measure is taken to ensure an excellent strike).&nbsp; I believe this is why one of the TPGs (NGC?) began grading these coins with the prefix SP rather than MS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
