<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1918322, member: 5233&quot;]I wouldn&#039;t say that...and I didn&#039;t say that.&nbsp; I think the issue with coins like this is people like to look at coins and hyper-focus on only one part of grading.&nbsp; That is the ear/dings/hits...and called surface preservation.&nbsp; Yes, this is a critical part of grading (and probably the most important part)...but it&#039;s not the only thing that is factored in.&nbsp; You also have to factor in other aspects of a coin...those include luster, eye appeal and strike.&nbsp; This coin has a decent strike and it appears to have very nice luster and eye appeal.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, lets say you grade the surfaces preservation MS65 due to the dings it has...but the eye appeal and the luster are that of an MS67 coin, the coin warrants an MS66 grade.&nbsp; This isn&#039;t &quot;market grading&quot; or &quot;value-grading&quot; or any other name you want to give it.&nbsp; This is analyzing all the features of the coin and giving it an appropriate overall grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
