<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 1671652, member: 37839&quot;]Doug, I am sorry but although I respect you, I cannot take your grading seriously.&nbsp; Nothing against you--you are experienced, a nice guy, and obviously love coins.&nbsp; However, when 80-90% of the people will say MS 64 or MS 65 and you say AU 58, YOU are being unrealistic--nothing personal, but your grading standard is so much more severe than the rest of the world.&nbsp; Perhaps you have some bias against what you think is overly lenient grading by the TPGs, but I just don&#039;t agree with you most of the time.&nbsp; Nothing whatsoever personal--just a professional difference.&nbsp; I honestly have been collecting Morgans for so long that I feel my grading and observation skills are strong for that series.&nbsp; Are they better than everybody else?&nbsp; NO.&nbsp; However, I also trust TPG standards far more than you do, and I will say for the 50th time--THEY get it right 95% of the time.&nbsp;&nbsp; Yes, I think my coin is in the same rubric as the PCGS photo grade and stand by my feeling that it is a &quot;garden variety&quot; MS 65, with pretty toning.&nbsp; Had it not been so, I would not have bought it.&nbsp; Besides, it looks prettier in hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
