<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 619172, member: 15309&quot;]Mark,</p><p><br /></p><p>We say nice coin for the same reason that I believe you should.&nbsp; I respect that you are a former grader and hear that you are a fantastic dealer, but you should know better than anyone, there is no way to accurately grade that coin from those photos.&nbsp; When you were a grader, what would you have thought about someone criticizing your professional opinion after looking at a crappy photo (no offense intended T$).</p><p><br /></p><p>It appears attractive and T$ is happy with the coin which is really all that matters.&nbsp; If I had a better photograph to second guess the graders at NGC, I would certainly do so in order to help Travis.&nbsp; Without one, I am forced to accept their opinion.&nbsp; If the photo looked like this, then I could understand your condemnation of the TPG&#039;s grade.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars%204%20Sale/MorganDollar1885NGCMS64Star18350-3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars%204%20Sale/MorganDollar1885NGCMS64Star18350-4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that Travis, your coin is not a coin that I would purchase.&nbsp; The reason is the same reason that Mark is trying to convey to you.&nbsp; From your photos, the coin appears to have too many marks in the obverse focal areas to warrant the MS64 grade, and that the coin is either an MS63 or a low end MS64.&nbsp; And while you are a respected member of this forum and have very advanced numismatic knowledge for a teenager, your overall numismatic knowledge and experience can&#039;t begin rival that of either Mark Feld or TradeDollarNut.&nbsp; Telling Mark to read those threads will not change his mind, he is not judging you, he is judging the coin.&nbsp; From what I know about Mark from the NGC forum, he would give you the same advice about this coin no matter if you were 74 or 14 years of age.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
