<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 116826, member: 112"]An easy game really, I'll post pics of coins and folks post what you think the coins should grade. There will be pics of coins slabbed by PCGS and NGC. The coins will be of the same date and mint mark so there will be no differences there. I'll tell you to start off that all coins are slabbed as MS examples. And please keep in mind all criteria that are used when it comes to grading such as quality of strike, luster, contact marks, hairlines and eye appeal. In almost all cases I have tried to find untoned examples so that that wouldn't play a part and confuse the issue. </p><p><br /></p><p>I'm going to post pics of Ike dollars and Morgan dollars - modern and classic examples in other words. Once enough members have posted their opinions I will post pics of the coins in their slabs.
