<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 978592, member: 15309&quot;]I don&#039;t think you sounded like a jerk, you simply shared an opinion.&nbsp; It is perfectly acceptable to want to limit the grade of a coin due to a weak strike.&nbsp; I was just pointing out that I believe the TPG did exactly that.&nbsp; Without the toning and eye appeal, it is possible that this coin could have been graded MS64 or MS63.&nbsp; This coin presents a grading dilemma IMO.&nbsp; The grading spread between the different elements of grading are so broad that assigning an appropriate grade becomes even more subjective than usual.&nbsp; I would give the surfaces MS66, eye appeal MS67, luster MS65, and strike MS62.&nbsp; Depending on how much emphasis you place on each aspect of grading, the grade can be vastly different from person to person.&nbsp; You obviously find strike to be very important.&nbsp; Personally, I agree with the TPG.&nbsp; I just can&#039;t see the coin reaching premium gem status with that strike but everything else about the coin screams gem.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
