Message:: [QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 2642458, member: 19250"]Bob the 1950 D were well known  for  soft or weak strikes.Taking that into consideration  that's  not what  my judgment  was on either  coin. I can pretty  much guarantee  that it wouldn't  grade that at NGC.It's  funny as I'm  close with about 20 dealers from working shows here.90% believe  that PCGS graded coins are the most accurate  and bring the top money. They may be correct  on one account ,people  are willing  to  pay more.From some of the post here and from seeing some of their work I disagree  totally !  The toned ms 67- 1964 Kennedy  half that now being  discussed  in another thread one example .  But I've  seen a lot more!Again I buy the coin.....personally  I buy a 64 FS with eye appeal  way before  pulling the trigger  on a  higher graded coin that was flat,or had battle scars.Again that's  my opinion .  I will also say that some of the early  grading companies  did add eye appear as well graded both sides of the coin. That said I personally  believe  that that's  how it should be. As yes grading is subjective  and when paying  for someone  to grade or appraisal  you should be able to get a reason for their reasons  for the value or grade placed.[/QUOTE]
