<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Jags, post: 3812083, member: 78719&quot;]I have noted on other forums that P and N have trouble IMHO in grading consistency with Vicky proofs. I looked extensively at TWO deep cameo 1839 half crowns; one was 63 and the other 67 - the 63 is still posted on the PCGS census but not the 67. They appear to be equal in hand and in picture in all types and angle of lighting.</p><p><br /></p><p>The problems are even worse for 20th Century 1920s-1950s Matte Proofs so buyer beware. Some are graded as low as 60 and every bit the equal of others graded as high as 66 &amp; seems to either be vagaries day to day of grading or ??perhaps other factors that I will not name. Many instances that I continue to see year after year.[ATTACH=full]1016334[/ATTACH]</p><p>I looked at this specimen in hand and NO hairlines. The possible scratch, for example, on neck is a raised scratch from die; the reverse can be seen on PCGS census. Just one example...Incidentally the underlying &quot;9&quot; is over struck over a far right &quot;9&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
