<p>[QUOTE="IBetASilverDollar, post: 2963689, member: 85251"]The bolded is very important. Coins with minimal contact marks but muted dull luster may not get past 62. In images you may scratch your head at why the coin isn't 64-65 but once you get in hand you see the lack of luster holding it back. I've learned that expensive lesson with 1 coin that I stubbornly resubmitted twice and came back 62 both times (and I cracked it out of an old ANA 62 - who says TPGs aren't consistent <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ). In a GTG here most guessed 64 for it because that's what it looks like from the surfaces. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think yours looks like a nice 65 for sure and well bought. Nice thing about Heritage is, while they charge you a lot for it, coins usually arrive pretty quick. I always have mine in hand the Monday following.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
