Message:: [QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1858539, member: 37839"]I would say that both of them are good deals--personally would have been happy with either one..  Look at the coin I bought and that one. My opinion is that they're the same grade--PCGS dropped the ball on the coin I got.  Either one is an excellent value for the dollar.  Look at the coins side by side, and I think it shows that they're the same approximate grade--even though one was graded XF 45, and the other AU 53.   That is a close call, anyway.  I would say that the NGC coin is DARKER in toning, and it accentuates the contrast of the coin, but surface preservation of the two are almost identical.  In fact, the fields are cleaner on the obverse of the alleged XF-45 coin.  This is why I will submit mine to NGC--thanks for a perfect example of what I think is a mis graded coin.   The kind folks from Newport Beach blew it, as I see it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH=full]311886[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]311887[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]311888[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]311889[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
