<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 2088544, member: 4920&quot;]No, of course it shouldn&#039;t. Nineteen scratches in the field, it&#039;s MS63? Twenty, it&#039;s MS62+? One carbon spot on the kisser, it&#039;s MS61? Killer luster on that MS61, it&#039;s MS62-63? No can do. Doesn&#039;t mean they can&#039;t be consistent, however. I can see any MS coin in any series I&#039;m familiar with and know what two grades it&#039;s plausibly in between, and assign my grade, accordingly. In fact, I&#039;ll bet most, here, can do that, too. </p><p><br /></p><p>FWIW, this is how PCGS defines market grading: &quot;A numerical grade that matches the grade at which a particular coin generally is <i>traded</i> in the marketplace. The grading standard used by PCGS.&quot; Emphasis supplied.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s trading, not grading. Enough said.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
