<p>[QUOTE="Jim M, post: 557137, member: 4791"]When you have a coin that is unique. Grade plays no part per se in the value of the coin. At least from I have seen over the decades. ie.. 1913 nickel. what difference does a grade make, the pedigrees are in place and they are know as the finest example or the worst example. MS70 is a misconception created by hype. Has anyone here really ever seen a PERFECT coin? The planchet is perfect, the composition of the metal is perfect, the die alignment is perfect, the strike is precise and perfect, there is an environment in place to make sure that there is no dust or debris's present, the list goes on. OK, so you gonna say yes to all of the above. Are you good enough to determine a low end MS70 from a high end MS69? say a MS69.5? There is a fundamental flaw in the Sheridan grading sytem because of this. Lets take this a little further, Are you a better grader than lets say the gang at NGC? Opinions.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
