<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Richard1972, post: 387005, member: 14172&quot;]It could be the strike. When I look at slabbed coins I tend to focus mostly on luster and hits and sometimes overlook the strike. When I look at raw coins I tend to go be more careful before jumping to a grade. Also, I don&#039;t believe I ever looked at the coin once I cracked it out. Maybe there was something that could not be seen though the slab. I know PCGS and NGC are not supposed to net grade but it seems that sometimes they do. When I first started collecting coins, I had a dealer submit a raw saint for me. The Saint looked to be about an MS65 or MS66 but on close inspection you could see album slide marks all over boths sides of the coin. Rather than body-bad the coin it came back as MS62.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
