<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1659208, member: 37839"]You just don't get it. This was an exercise in grading, and no need to get personal. If you were here for any period of time, you would realize that these exercises go on all the time--we learn from each other, and YES, we do reinforce each other's opinion, and often disagree rather heatedly. It is usually in the spirit of education for all, and in a friendly way. You haven't spent much time here, otherwise, you would know that coin issues are RARELY cut and dried. This particular coin, if you know Morgans, makes a HUGE leap from AU to MS, as it is a definite good date, and conditional rarity. The borderline coins like that are hard to grade, and as such, there is oft times considerable debate as to what a coin would really grade. I welcome such diversity of opinion, and educational opportunities between seasoned collectors, and newbies who wish to learn--that is why I posted this particular coin. Sorry that you "just don't get that," but if you stick around here with an open mind, perhaps you will, and get some enjoyment from something that is anything but cut and dried. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
