[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 817604, member: 16510"][b]The problem is they ARE NOT grading it just labeling it![/b] The problem is they ARE NOT grading it just labeling it! Back in the old days a grade of Gem BU would mean (to most honest dealers) an MS-65 or better coin. This coin may be a AU-55 to who knows what but a suspect it would never be an MS-65 no matter what. If you do not understand all this yet, (which is what I suspect) please keep reading and studying before you buy coins. Go and look at certified AU thru MS-65 coins and really understand this for yourself. Give your self that gift and you will not regret it. This is one of about 50,000 finer points of learning to grade coins. If not to expencive a lession go ahead and buy the coin (or one like it) if not very much and then you will be paying for a lession - the lessions I have paid for are always worth much more.[/QUOTE]
