[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3659833, member: 112"]It could, but the TPGs don't always do that. They have been known to completely ignore a weak strike when grading on a great many occasions. However they will often limit a grade based on other things like poor quality of luster, low eye appeal, unattractive or dark toning just to name a few. Yeah they're aware of it, and it is sometimes taken into account and the grade adjusted accordingly. They are also aware of when certain date/mint combinations are known for almost the entire mintage being well struck, and in those cases the coins are graded more strictly, tougher if you will, and the grade can be adjusted accordingly. And by the way, the '86-P Morgan is known for being sharply struck. I'm not so sure the coin is weakly struck - it looks like wear to me. And if they thought so too, that would hold the grade down. And if you're going to tell us that it can't be wear because they graded the coin MS - well, they are very well known for grading coins with wear as MS. In PCGS's own grading book, their own published grading standards, they state flat out that a coin with wear can be graded as high as MS67.[/QUOTE]
