<p>[QUOTE="micbraun, post: 2718671, member: 54036"]Correct, pictures can be deceptive. Looking at the reverse of the second 81-S however, it's obvious that it was either weakly struck or there's some wear. Apparently it is a weak strike (if we trust PCGS and the assigned MS grade) but I really don't see an MS65 coin... in market grading we should not only look at the surface preservation, but also at strike, luster and eye appeal. I don't want to judge luster from pictures, but the strike is weak, which alone should prevent such a high grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
