<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1380017, member: 15309&quot;]Even coins graded at the premium gem levels have contact marks.&nbsp; This coin is not riddled with marks as you would have people believe.&nbsp; There are some light marks on the obverse and the reverse is very clean.&nbsp; Are you really so arrogant that you think that PCGS can&#039;t recognize simple contact marks?&nbsp; There is a simple truth which you can&#039;t see because you are so busy trying to defend your moronic statements.&nbsp; This coin can only have one of three grades (MS65, MS64, AU58).&nbsp; Either the coin is accurately graded and is indeed an MS65, or the marks are little too much for the grade and it is a high end MS64.&nbsp; The only other option is that the wear deemed &quot;roll friction&quot; by the TPG is actually circulation wear and the coin should be AU58.&nbsp; There is no way possible that this coin is low MS.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes it does, but it only provides a base.&nbsp; It does not equip you to handle the intricacies of series.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t have experience with Walkers, it is very difficult to discern &quot;roll friction&quot; from circulation wear.&nbsp; In my chosen series, Jefferson Nickels, it is very difficult to discern contact marks from planchet flaws.&nbsp; Are you getting the point?&nbsp; You need experience with most series to be an accurate grader of that chosen series.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I never said that at all.&nbsp; Since I was asking for your credentials related to the series, I felt it prudent to post my own.&nbsp; Nothing more!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; So What!</p><p>2.&nbsp; Dealer opinions are self serving which is why the market place demands a THIRD party grade.</p><p>3.&nbsp; That is your opinion, one not shared by most in the numismatic community.&nbsp; Not surprising though considering who your mentor is Gilligan.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will take that bet.&nbsp; You have claimed that the coin is low MS.&nbsp; I think the coin is MS64/65.&nbsp; I bet $500 that the coin comes back a minimum of MS64.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
