<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lkeigwin, post: 1182958, member: 30400&quot;]Good question. The &#039;34-S, as you obviously know, is expensive in MS grade. There are only a bit more than 1,000 graded in PCGS MS63 or higher. The desirable 1921 high relief has eight times as many.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The TPG&#039;s are pretty careful about lofty grades here. This example is actually pretty clean with regard to bag hits. The one on the neck is a little exaggerated by lighting. But it is prominent enough.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the luster is merely average for the grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>For an MS coin to grade 60-62 it usually has to be pretty baggy. This coin doesn&#039;t fit. So I think it came down to 63 or 64 and PCGS felt the slightly unimpressive luster and hit to the neck kept it from 64.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just a lot of guesses really. It could be the grader had to run to the bathroom and made a quick stab at it.</p><p>Lance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
