<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1413211, member: 31533&quot;]Actually, in many cases, the 65 is a better coin, condition wise, than a 64. But it depends on the coin. That is why you should learn to grade, so that you can buy the coin and not the other person&#039;s grade --- unless the person grading it show that they know the subtle differences. Also you give an example of a 61 you say is better than the 63. Have you seen both in hand? (To make that determination?) The reason I ask this is because grading involves looking at the coin in a light, and evaluating the entire coin. It is not done normally just on pictures. Some people can give a good idea of what a coin should grade based on really good pics of the coin, obverse and reverse, but that takes a lot of knowledge, as pictures can hide or not really show the entire reality.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, if I&#039;m able to buy a 65 that is a good representation of that grade over a 64 which may have lesser appeal, and the money difference is good for me, I will do so. I will especially do so if the 65 is a near 66 as opposed to a technical 64 that looks like it might be a 63. If the coins are a high 64 and a marginal 65 I might not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
