<p>[QUOTE="cremebrule, post: 1971347, member: 35227"]Honestly I think it comes down to whether the coins are MA (market acceptable) or not.

I think for this specific type of colofully toned coinage, it comes down to small subtleties -- ex: how smooth the color progression is, how well the colors mix or clash together, any abnormal hazing spots, etc. -- that will dictate whether or not they will straight grade. For example, it's doubtful that the John Q. Adams proof will straight grade, though a couple others such as the Andrew Jackson proof (I really like that "cornflower blue," as WingedLiberty put it, the best!) have a good chance of making an actual PF6X grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, as long as you're satisfied with your purchase, I don't think it matters.
