<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 13919178, member: 101855&quot;]My perception is that PCGS is much more conservative when it grades modern coins than NGC. It is for that reason that PCGS moderns often sell for more money, sometimes a lot more money. </p><p><br /></p><p>I also think that politics can be involved. The guys who get the very high grade pieces in the beginning, can end up getting very high prices. The people who are registry obsessed make this market. After a while, it seems like the graders lighten up and more high grade pieces are &quot;made.&quot; When then happens, the registry people lose out because the increased supply lowers the prices. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Going by the photos, it looks like you may have been treated fairly with the lower grades. To me MS-67 is almost like a &quot;walk on water grade.&quot; You really have to look hard to find the defects. The strike should be will above average, which includes whatever rough spots may have been on the planchet before the coin was struck. I see some small patches on your coins which were not flatten out when they were struck. It isn&#039;t post mint damage, but you also don&#039;t expect to see them on an MS-67.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
