Overgraded Morgans

Did you ever notice that certain sellers on Ebay always seem to have Morgans that are graded at least a point too high (especially the toned ones)?

I have been watching many of these volume sellers auctions and often times see coins that look like someone took a pickax to them as a 63 or 64. Common date, well struck coins such as 79-S through 82-S or 86 & 87 having numerous marks in the field or large scars getting 65's and 66's. I don't know about you, but I've never had submissions like that. What gives?

    Market grading my friend. Stick to being a grumpy tech grader and you'll always be ok. I tried to change and go with the times.... but common sense took over and change is NO good.
