Compare this Seated half dollar's surfaces (especially marks) to the 1854-O that was covered yesterday... compare the two MS-67+s and you can plainly see the two coins possess completely different quality surfaces (color is not relevant). http://goccf.com/t/428675NGC MS-67+  |

You only waited 5 hours instead of 48

I think this is an MS-65. Not quite a 67 to me.
The OP can choose however long he wants. However, 24-48 hours is favored, it is his choice whether he wants 5 responses or 20 responses.

Sure is a lot of small marks on this to get a 67+. Nice coin, I just can not see 67+.

Over-and-over again, since 1988, I see NGC over-grading coins with nice eye appeal. Oh, the other TPGSs do the same, but NGC does it more often. I think it is only an MS-66. Apologies CoinFrog. As a courtesy I will wait 48 hours. Check out the new one I just uploaded. http://goccf.com/t/428675Edited by TheColorofMoney

Upon inspection I agree, no way it's 67+
I've heard rumors they give higher grade with eye appeal, now I've actually seen it.

Market grading applies to these types of coins. Eye appeal, toning, haze, luster, and population reports should not affect the technical grade of a coin, but TPGs allow it to. It appeals to the public market, hence the term "market grading".

PCGS definition of market grading: A numerical grade that matches the grade at which a particular coin generally is traded in the marketplace. I don't understand that. Could you explain technical grading to me.?.

i had this one at MS65+ maybe 66 but not 67. there are just too many marks on the highest points on both sides to make that grade

I wasn't too far away with 66+. I do think 67+ should be a truly very clean coin with maybe only the very slightest of marks. I still think this is a 66+ but its stunning either way.

Stunning coin. Certainly looks market graded.

It is a nice coin...however I think the expert grader was out on a coffee break when this one passed through...buy the coin and not the holder.
