Mathman, coins are graded by technical merit (luster, strike, number of hits, etc) and eye appeal. The technical merit determines the grade, and a very PQ coin for that grade with attractive color (or other forms of superior eye appeal like booming luster, or cameo appearance while not PL) will often get the coin bumped into the next grade. In other words, a PQ ms63 thats borderline ms64 will often get the MS64 if it has the eye appeal to warrant it. A dog of an ms63 will always be an ms63, even with vibrant color.
Hope that makes sense, it's been a long day.
