Message:: [QUOTE="Arizona Jack, post: 387152, member: 9308"]GDJMSP has pointed out, as have other professionals like Zaneman, CaveTroll and ShortGapBob, that PCGS " market grades " I had (2) 1909-S CH-AU RB Lincolns on my site that I had priced at or near 63 levels, because that was the " market " value, but in an effort to grade as honestly as possible, I call them CH-AU, and they are technically CH-AU. The MS-63 grade on the holder is fair and acceptable to some, and a sore spot to others. I will not go there. On my circ coins, my CH AU BROWN's all came back as 55 or 58, and my choice XF's came back as 45, just as I had hoped. My GEM RD came back as 65 RD, and my CH-BU came back as 64RB, again, just as I had hoped. I consider myself lucky, not an expert grader, but it does, I admit, feel good.[/QUOTE]
