<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 7288582, member: 13307&quot;]That&#039;s one of my all-time &quot;bummers&quot; about finding a coin with a great obverse...and a jacked-up reverse.&nbsp; You get all excited...and then the disappointment when you see the heinous hits on the back.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still think this is one of those instances I was mentioning to [USER=37839]@Morgandude11[/USER] the other day in his GTG post - where the lighting causes hits to look a LOT more apparent than they are in hand.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I will (very politely) disagree that this coin doesn&#039;t go anywhere near as low as a 63 if sent in...except I happen to have an NGC MS65 on hand that is (to be perfectly frank) utter garbage compared to this coin.&nbsp; I think the marks on the 65 are smaller, but there are a ton more of them.&nbsp; The luster isn&#039;t even comparable.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Knowing that it&#039;s kind of a calculated risk we take when sending coins in anyway (our responsibility is choosing coins worthy of sending in, but out of our control is whether the graders will be generally accurate, or lenient, or very strict?) </p><p><br /></p><p>...and that the 65 could also be overgraded...although, frankly, it looks maybe low-end comparable to the examples on Photograde.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it will be fun to send this in anyway with my membership credit group.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been hemming/hawing about whether to send in a batch of US coins or World Coins or a bulk submission of Jeffersons I&#039;ve had for too long or a bulk submission of Franklins I&#039;ve also had for too long...</p><p><br /></p><p>I do sincerely appreciate the feedback and opinions.&nbsp; Always good to get better at grading.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
