<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sf340flier, post: 157503, member: 5806&quot;]I think this may indicate a couple things.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, coin photography, while fun and maybe good for technical grading, has limitations with other traits such as eye-appeal, luster and even strike.&nbsp; Without having the coin in hand, I think it&#039;s hard to grade these.&nbsp; I have taken many photos and the coin looks so much better in my hand then in the photos (but that could be just me).</p><p><br /></p><p>Second, without overstating the obvious, it could also mean that NGC has graded this coin loosely.&nbsp; I too thought the cheek marks would cause a lower grade.&nbsp; I know the message boards indicate that NGC and PCGS grading are tight right now, but the grey sheets still show lower confidence in NGC than PCGS and even ICG.&nbsp; (I haven&#039;t looked in a while, but I believe PCGS was running about 90% and NGC around 70-75%).</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, congrats on the 64:thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
