<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mark Feld, post: 619477, member: 11467&quot;]With respect to the question you asked I would think that, having examined the coin in person, I probably had a much better idea about how to grade it than someone else (whether they were expert or not) who was trying to grade it from an image. But I wouldn&#039;t take personal offense.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree about the problems in trying to grade coins from images. In fact, I have repeatedly posted something to the effect of &quot;No one, no matter how expert, can consistently grade uncirculated and Proof coins accurately from images&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>Still, we can use images as a tool to discuss coins and grading and learn from them. For example, we don&#039;t know how accurate or inaccurate the images of the Morgan in question really are. But, I think it&#039;s fair to say that if they are accurate/not overly accentuating the flaws, the coin is not a solid MS64 example. Maybe it deserves a 64 and maybe it deserves a 63. Either way, it allows us to discuss the differences and what to look for in coins of various grades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
