<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1815580, member: 36230&quot;]So let me get this straight... you think it rude to say something is &quot;<i>quite clear</i>&quot; even when it is, well, quite clear?</p><p><br /></p><p>Seriously though, please try to understand that there is a difference between being straightforward and being rude. Now, since all we have to go on is your photos, please take another look at the obverse (55-P 50C): there appears to be clear rub in areas of the cheek, hair, and base of the bust, which <i>should</i> automatically preclude an MS grade. You mentioned seeing coins residing in 64 holders that you deemed &quot;worse&quot; than the coin in question, and even though I cannot speak for what you&#039;ve seen or for your opinions, please understand that there are coins residing in holders that they do not or should not deserve to be in, and the fact that such coins exist does not mean all other examples that one believes comparable should get into the same holder. If this coin, from what we can see in the photos, got into a 64 holder, it would most certainly be viewed as a &quot;hot potato&quot;, which essentially is an overgraded or lower end for the grade example that is best avoided. This is not to say that there is anything wrong with your coin, but on its technical merits, I must respectfully disagree with you and Mr. Bowsa in regards to grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
