<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tmoneyeagles, post: 1054340, member: 17557&quot;]Directing lighting does make the coin look better. Much better.</p><p>I would buy the coin in the direct lighting shot over the diffused shot if we are talking about the color and luster. The diffused lighting shot hides some of the marks, and makes the coin really &quot;work&quot; for that grade it got. In other words, the direct lighting makes me to believe that this coin is not a MS67. (Coming from an inexperienced Jefferson collector, you said it yourself Paul, for a 1963 you agree with this grade)</p><p>Obviously the 1963 has different &quot;standards&quot; for its grade. (As said several posts above)</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I think the standards that are set in stone should remain that way. I am aware that some coins might have gone through more in a particular year or span of years that can make it look worse than it could look. This shouldn&#039;t warrant any leniency. The grading standards should remain the same, and the grades will just be lower for that (those) particular year(s). That way (for example) we won&#039;t have EF35 coins in AU58 holders.</p><p><br /></p><p>Paul, I am extremely impressed with this coin. I think it makes the other &quot;Monsters&quot; you have or once had, go right back into the closet or under the bed in sheer embarrassment![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
