<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 2930381, member: 37839"]Most of the time TPGs get it pretty accurately. Sometimes, they don't. I am going to post the 3 coins I received recently, in their slabs. One may immediately notice something, despite the difficulty of photographing brilliant Morgans accurately. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would have graded all three of these coins exactly the same. The surface preservation is almost identical, not in the location of bag marks, but in the amount and severity. All three have clean fields, and very significant reflectivity. The question is obviously. the degree of subjectivity. I will post what I would have graded all three after people make the comments. Please spare me the "It looks like a 62" type of comment, as none of them fall into that category, and none of the three are "AU coins." They're all about the same, but feel free to make comments about the market grading and discrepancies in the grade. This is an important exercise in grading, as we always discuss the accuracy of TPGs, and our ability to grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]711401[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]711402[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
