<p>[QUOTE="Bob Evancho, post: 3306143, member: 84595"]In my opinion, I have seen nicer 63's. GRADING is subjective and suggestive by grading companies. The eye appeal is not there for me after I expanded the photo. There are too many marks above the 18 of the date and through the 1 and also above the eagle. On the reverse there are too many hits that don't look appealing. Any coin below a perfect MS-70 should be details graded explaining why it did not get a perfect grade. I guess I grade too strictly. Be patient and you will find better at a more reasonable price. I'm sure you are of the philosophy to buy the coin (based on your EYE APPEAL) and not the holder. Happy coin collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
