<p>[QUOTE="Two Dogs, post: 6705325, member: 85671"]Not all "downgrades" are inferior coins. In my collection of Classic Silver Commemoratives, several times I've sold a MS66 and replaced it with a MS65, or a MS65 with a MS64. Specifically, I've done that with the Hudson and California coins with a two grade down substitution. I try to buy the coin, not the holder and sometimes you can get a coin in a lower grade with much better eye appeal as you free up some cash to keep the process going. BTW, I do not take part in registry set competitions, so for me the grade may not be as important as it is to others. Good luck with the search![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
