<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 1942220, member: 20480&quot;]There&#039;s no argument from me . . . the mark on the certified coin definitely breaks more than just a single step. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This goes to what I&#039;ve written before, about the services value-grading coins to hit what they feel is a fair assignable dollar amount for the coin they are grading.&nbsp; They probably felt the coin above was worth significantly more than an MS66 (trends $45), but not worth the money commanded by MS67 (trends $750).&nbsp; Finding the middle ground is achievable by assigning the MS66 FS grade / designation (trends $425), as long as the designation was plausible.&nbsp; It appears that this may have been the case with the coin above.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This can be seen with other coins as well . . . cameo proofs, Franklins, SLQ, P/L coins, Merc dimes, copper color designations, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
