Message:: [QUOTE="rld14, post: 485223, member: 16133"]I think what we're saying David, is that grading is subjective and open to interpretation. As far as MS70 coins go, IMO that's a nonexistent grade for classic coins, even looking at the king of surviving uncirculated coins, the Morgan Dollar, there's only TWO of those that are MS69s.  What happens, I suppose, is that really choice coins, for what they are, get high grades. Ever see some of the Bust and Capped coinage that gets MS66-67 grades?  If they were, say, Franklin Halves they would be in 62-63 holders.  Do I agree with it always?  No.  You're also dealing with a series, especially in key dates, that the TPGs tend to be quite forgiving to. I am a lot less concerned with this coin getting a grade that's 1 or 2 points higher than its' technical grade (Because of stunning strike and eye appeal, which surely should count for a point or two) than all the ones that I have seen which had "FH" on the holder when they were not FHs. Strike can be subjective, eye appeal certainly.  But a Full Head is a Full Head, it's not like being a little bit pregnant.[/QUOTE]
