<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 249943, member: 112&quot;]Did you take into account <u>all</u> of the grading criteria or just marks ? That is something that too many people do not take into account when comparing coins of equal grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, you can have two coins of same date and mint with both graded the same, but one of the coins has more marks than the other. So people ask how can this be ? It&#039;s easy if the luster, quality of strike&nbsp; or eye appeal&nbsp; ( any 1 of the 3 will do it ) on the coin with more marks is better than the one with less marks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Similar explanation for why a 63 can look better than a 65. The 63 can have great eye appeal but perhaps it has too many marks or the marks can be too distracting for it qualify as a 65. Or ther quality of strike is not good enough for 65, or the luster is not good enough for 65.</p><p><br /></p><p>The point is, everything must be taken into account when comparing coins of equal or even of different grades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
