<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 2546462, member: 77639&quot;]It&#039;s accepted by many that very rare coins are treated with a little more leniency by the grading services.&nbsp; They may give them a bit higher grade than more common coins in the same condition might get.&nbsp; Or a little bit of rub on the high points may be ignored, and a coin that would otherwise rate an AU is graded as mint state.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think a good example is the Dexter 1804 dollar that is coming up for auction as part of the Pogue collection.&nbsp; Mr. Dexter stamped a small &quot;D&quot; on one of the clouds on the reverse.&nbsp; However, the coin was graded PR65 by PCGS.&nbsp; Try doing this in an unobtrusive place on a mint state 1901-O Morgan and submit it to PCGS.&nbsp; What do you think the label on the slab would say?</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
