<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 2759028, member: 78244&quot;]But you agree that the one example was a mistake. It shows that NGC is not 100% consistent. What if the same happened for the OP coin, just overgraded instead of undergraded? I like to see you try to argue against that.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I don&#039;t care is because I don&#039;t want to have to worry myself over a single point difference. How many hours have you and many others spent arguing the case of whether or nor this coin is graded a point or two too high? I find myself much happier not caring about such trivialities, much less paying $$$$ for them. To me, coin grades over MS-66 don&#039;t matter as there is often not a significant-enough difference warranting such a large premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other than in ancients, I have yet to see a slab that breaks down the coin grade into smaller components. You say the system is in place. Show me. As far as I am concerned, it does not officially exist.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, I have my own grading standards, and they are what I use, not the TPG&#039;s. I don&#039;t care what the fancy piece of plastic says. Usually I grade lower than the plastic.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If I think a coin is ugly, I won&#039;t pay a premium for it. A Morgan dollar can be technically graded MS-65, but it would not be worth that to me if it has butt-ugly toning. I see dozens of contact marks on the reverse and splotchy brown toning on the periphery of the OP coin. No way I&#039;d give it an eye appeal grade of MS-67. I&#039;ve seen low-MS coins that look nicer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
