PCGS (and NGC) really likes luster! They will bump coins up based on luster, regardless of the hits. At least this has been my experience. Spend some time on ha.com and look closely at the pictures. I'm often shocked by the coins that get 66, 67, 68 grades with obvious hits. My 1939-D should have rec'd at least an MS-67 based on hits (none), but NGC gave it a 66 I believe because the luster wasn't blinding. Lincoln Cent Lover!

That coin is every bit a 67. From the pics it seems to have impared luster, which is why you were robbed IMO. Lincoln Cent Lover!

I agree Bryan's coin looks like a 67 and it would certainly be one of those 66A coins. I wonder if the strike hurt it a bit too? Although the strike is good, it's not a great strike.

captainkurt Pillar of the Community United States 1406 Posts	Posted 01/22/2010 5:11 pm This has been awesome! It really is amazing how subjective grading can get. I am thankful everyone has left all this great feedback as I am preparing to put the matched set of 1943 PDS's on ebay. I saw a set go for $199 the other day and I don't think I can hold on to them with prices like that! Report this Post to the Staff
