<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 484383, member: 15309&quot;]Well it seems we are using market grading and you are using technical grading.&nbsp; This coin has the luster, strike, and eye appeal of an MS67 coin.&nbsp; In the absence of grade limiting surface marks, the very minor imperfections that you pointed out will not drop the grade below MS66.&nbsp; Does the coin have more minor abrasions than many other MS66 SLQ&#039;s?&nbsp; Probably.&nbsp; Does that in itself preclude it from still being and MS66?&nbsp; Absolutely Not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Emotion has nothing to do with this.&nbsp; Market grading includes other factors besides surface preservation.&nbsp; If you just grade the technical aspects of the piece, then you are giving a technical grade, not a market grade.&nbsp; And although the ANA standards mention the other areas of grading, they don&#039;t say what to do with a coin that has three elements of grading at the MS67 level and one at the MS64 level other than to call the coin an MS64.&nbsp; While you may be OK with that methodology for grading, most collectors would not be able to fathom seeing this coin in an MS64 holder.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, how does the ANA define numerous, several, and few?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
