<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3060932, member: 78244&quot;]My thoughts on the grades when compared to mine:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. NGC MS-66+ (NGC MS-67)</p><p>2. NGC MS-64* (NGC MS-67+★)</p><p>3. NGC MS-66+ (NGC MS-67)</p><p>4. PCGS MS-66 (PCGS MS-67+)</p><p>5. NGC MS-67 (PCI MS-66)</p><p>6. NGC MS-66 (NGC MS-67)</p><p>7. NGC MS-65 (NGC MS-67★)</p><p>8. NGC MS-64* (NGC MS-67★)</p><p>9. PCGS MS-65 (PCGS MS-67 CAC)</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Half-point difference. Matter of opinion.</p><p>2. I cannot overlook the damage. I was orignally going to put MS-67+* due to the luster and lack of marks on the obverse, but then I saw the reverse. I stand by my grade.</p><p>3. Half-point difference. Matter of opinion.</p><p>4. It was tough to judge hits with the toning, but there seemed to be more abrasions in the prime focal areas on the obverse, particularly when compared to the previous coins. Maybe PCGS has looser standards. Toss-up imo.</p><p>5. I assumed old NGC. I really liked the luster and subtle toning. Not the best strike,but very few hits. Easy 67 imo at PCGS/NGC.</p><p>6. The lack of marks was 67, but the luster from the pictures was 65. Net 66. Since the luster is apparently much better than the pictures were able to show, I will revice to MS-67.</p><p>7. The toning made judging the contact marks really hard. There is a pretty significant scratch behind Washington’s head which should keep it out of 67 territory. The reverse toning has very negative eye appeal. Luster looked neutral from the pictures, so I said MS-65. But since it apparently has great luster, I can see MS-66, but not 67, and certainly not a star.</p><p>8. Again hard to judge contact marks. The strike through (not a scratch, apparently) should limit this to MS-66. While it is a flaw made at the mint, it is still a flaw nonetheless. I can see a star.</p><p>9. Hard to judge contact marks again, but I think everything in front of Washington’s face is an abrasion. That should definitely keep it out of 67 and possibly 66. Color is nice, so I guess 66 is reasonable. This is another example in the batch that shows PCGS is more lenient with top-grade Washington quarters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
