<p>[QUOTE=&quot;steve1942, post: 1958925, member: 21699&quot;]Sent my UHF to NGC for grading.&nbsp; It came back as a MS69 and recommendation to forward to NCS to remove the spot.&nbsp; I&#039;m sorry but I still think it&#039;s unique and beautiful.&nbsp; It is also as it came from the mint and not altered.&nbsp; If I have to have someone change the surface of my coin to give it a MS70 rating, I&#039;m sorry.&nbsp; I&#039;m not trying to satisfy third party grading companies, I&#039;m trying to collect a coin that represents what came from the mint.&nbsp; I know that ANACS, at one time, graded coins to reflect how it resembled what came from the mint, if it came out their doors with a silver spot, so be it.&nbsp; Now we collectors, that buy in slabs, are hung up on beauty only.&nbsp; Worse than that, these companies require a multitude of graders to see the coin the same way; hope none wake up having a bad day (it just takes one).&nbsp; Finally, the graders are taught to look at certain areas most closely.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen some pretty poor looking coins with high marks, only because the hair curl under the ear was well defined.&nbsp; I&#039;ll stick with my MS69 and it&#039;s red spot.&nbsp; Find it very chemically exciting to see the mar in pure gold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
