[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 3652840, member: 15309"]Do yourself a favor, take 5 Heritage photos of MS64 1885-S Morgan Dollars and compare them to this coin. You will find that this coin is far superior and that only really applies to surface preservation and ignores luster which is impossible to judge from HA photos. Nobody is saying that you can’t have your own standards for grading, but it is plainly obvious that your standards are much different (more conservative) than those employed by the TPGs, and they control the market. As for blowing it out of the water, I thoroughly debunked the example you used. That MS65+ has obvious luster grazes, and they are visible on the beauty shots despite the photographer’s effort to hide them. So if you want to claim that this coin is not an MS66 based on your standards, then okay, but you haven’t even come close to showing that the coin is incorrectly graded by current TPG standards.[/QUOTE]
