<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2014519, member: 15929&quot;]Ah yes but then the author of the linked story states: &quot;<i>It helps to keep in mind that grading standards for Morgan Dollars are a little looser than standards for other 19th century silver coins, in part because Morgans typically accumulated numerous bagmarks and other contact marks</i>.&quot; which gives the marks a &quot;pass&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not in my opinion, mind you, but in the opinion of those which have a vested interest in seeing this coin sell for 1.5 million or more.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, I believe that the TPG&#039;s are in a &quot;Stable&quot; war regarding who can advertise that they&#039;ve graded some fairly rare coins and as such, some questionable grades have been &quot;awarded&quot; to some rare coins. How else could a coin graded by one of the lessor TPG&#039;s go from AU58 to a PCGS MS62?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
