<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3076875, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;m not sure you guys are understanding what I&#039;m saying. I am not saying that a coin with a die crack(s) can&#039;t be graded as MS, or any other grade - it most definitely can be. It can be a 62 a 65 even a 66 or 67. </p><p><br /></p><p>What I am saying is this - if you have 2 examples of the same coin, but struck with different dies - one cracked and the other not cracked - and everything about the 2 coins is equal - except for the die crack - then the coin with a die crack cannot be graded as high as the coin without the die crack. If the coin without is graded say 65, then the one with the die crack must be graded no higher than say 64, and maybe only 63, depending on how severe the die crack or cracks are. </p><p><br /></p><p>But in no case, when all other grading criteria are equal on both coins -&nbsp; can both coins be graded exactly the same. That&#039;s all I&#039;m saying.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
