<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 4025964, member: 106826&quot;][USER=105571]@Publius2[/USER]&nbsp; I agree with your assessment on the &#039;69, but still a very nice coin!&nbsp; I would think that the greater range in difference might be at the lower grades through AU coins.&nbsp; But MS coins, being uncirculated, should be more consistent coin-to-coin and design-to-design.&nbsp; There should be better continuity and reproducibility between different parties, IMHO.&nbsp; Qualitative assessments inherently have a number of biases.&nbsp; That said, spending time at sites like Heritage Auctions will illustrate the range of assessments across slabs of different vintages.&nbsp; It can be a headscratcher at times how certain coins got graded so high or low.&nbsp; And this is at the root of why folks will crack a slabbed coin in hopes of a better grade the next time around.&nbsp; Buying on appearance and what you like take on a new meaning, perhaps the more important set of criteria, to sustain ongoing satisfaction with a purchase, as you did with your &#039;69.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
