[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 1094742, member: 2972"]It does indeed. In fairness, I 100% set you up with that one, as I knew the coin was exactly the same AU 55 grade. Sorry about that. ;) That said, the other reason I reacted the way I did in that response was because I frankly don't like that NGC coin even half as much as the coin I posted. While it might have a bit less wear, it has an even dark coloration which doesn't appeal to me, and frankly looks quite dull in the photo. Of course that could change with better photos or an in-hand assessment, but I was rather surprised when you agreed that coin was a good AU example. Then again, I suspect you prefer that coin over my coin (at least grade wise), and it only goes to show just how subjective each of our likes and dislikes are when it comes to coins, and how those preferences affect how each of us (and the TPGs!) actually grade/value coins. We all grade through our own tinted lenses. Take care...Mike[/QUOTE]
