rayof315 Valued Member United States 241 Posts	Posted 08/30/2015 8:43 pm I wonder if PCGS ever mixes up their coins? Maybe someone out there is scratching their head over the MS63 grade they got, for what they were sure would come back a high grade wheatie. Or, more seriously, maybe there's other criteria that came into play when grading this coin? Edited by rayof315 08/30/2015 9:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

dom Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 08/30/2015 9:28 pm As much as I disagree with the grade I have seen PCGS and NGC grade similar Lincoln wheat cents. Just before I posted this I scanned E bay and there are several '56-d cents with similar nicks that are graded MS66 Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19964 Posts	Posted 08/31/2015 5:04 pm Luster, clean fields and eye appeal count the most to a TPG grade. When I first saw the pictures 66 rang in my head immediately. I'm not so down with the + designation, that should be reserved for coins without that many hits. Those little hits and dings are minor. IMO, most of you way over-analyze those. That's the problem with pictures, you're seeing a magnified view of a coin, not what it looks like in hand. Try moving 3-4 feet from your monitor and grading.

CalzoneManiac Pillar of the Community United States 2233 Posts	Posted 08/31/2015 9:45 pm I would think this was overgraded, but again, I don't want to . Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCollector2012 Pillar of the Community United States 8137 Posts	Posted 09/02/2015 2:42 pm I am amazed that it graded that high. With all those hits to the jacket I thought that there is no way it could have gotten more than an MS-64. Report this Post to the Staff
