<p>[QUOTE=&quot;masterswimmer, post: 8133160, member: 102022&quot;]I was looking at some eBay listings for an 1857 Flying Eagle Cent MS-64.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found a few. These two coins graded by PCGS as MS-64 and one has a green bean on it as well. That&#039;s actually the coin grade in question here. The one with the green bean.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m going to show the first MS-64 with no bean.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/yDUAAOSwbGdhgtDR/s-l1600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now I&#039;ll show the MS-64 with the bean. I&#039;d like to draw your attention to the tail feathers just above the eagle&#039;s talons. Then check out the wreath on the reverse. Look at the details, or lack thereof, of the flowers and corn.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/U6cAAOSwgxxhrlu1/s-l1600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Not only did this coin receive the same MS-64 grade as the first one above, but it received a green CAC sticker. I checked the PCGS website for Certificate Verification and both coin grades are listed as legitimate. The bean coin has a PCGS TrueView pic (2nd pic posted above).&nbsp; And the 1st coin posted above has no TrueView.</p><p><br /></p><p>What am I missing here? Are these two coins really equal in condition in anyone&#039;s eyes?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
