<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2434798, member: 15309&quot;]The answer to your original question is that it depends on the series.&nbsp; For Jefferson Nickels, PCGS is almost a full grade more conservative in their grading.&nbsp; Some series are pretty equal like Morgans and then there are a few that NGC is tougher.&nbsp; That said, NGC is much tougher with respect to all strike designations, eg. FB, FBL, FS, FH etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, here is an example of a whizzed coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Barber%20Half%20Dollars/BarberHalfDollar1898-SWhizzed_zps3b6007e6.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Note that there are areas of the coin that were not whizzed.&nbsp; Compare the difference between the two types of surfaces.&nbsp; In hand, the simulated luster from the whizzing looks odd and out of place and does not at all look like the typical cartwheel luster you see on problem free coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
