BTW, about one month ago I held in my hands a raw 1921 that I graded MS66. No, not a typo. It looked like a modern gold eagle it was soooooo perfect.

That's still breaks in the frost and I think it would hold it at 65. Just my opinion though. The marks in the field are a little more than I'd like to see on a 66 but the strike is ultra sharp and the color is very nice. Awesome coin.
POP is 7, 1 higher. So what is the disposition of this uuber 1921?? That's a pretty high flyer, but a 66...it would have to be perfect!! Get it,Dude!! Or PM me where it can be found???
Both of these coins have their strenghts, but the 1931 has a creamy texture that is tantalizing!

JUST HAVEN'T EVER FOUND A MS65.....
<< <i>Late dates are fantastic...alsa I only have 3, but they are good uns. Here is a 1931-D ms64...the color is lost, but its very pink over 75% of the center with green periphery!! Loooks like a piece of candy!

I get angry when I see this sort of stuff. There is NO WAY this is an MS64 but the other one you showed is a MS66. That is ludicrous. Both look upper end MS65 to me.
It is supposed to be ONE standard for all coins but I see this all the time. The standard changes depending on the coin series.
Check an MS66 state quarter next to an MS66 Morgan, both PCGS graded. The state quarter will always look several grades better than the Morgan but both will be an MS66. It really irritates me to see this sort of thing. Unfortunately, until GOD himself starts grading coins...it will always be this way.
Thanks.

<< <i>I would say the 1931 is a slightly better piece than the 1929, but not by much, the 1929 looks like a strong 65. I wouldn't get too hung up on PCGS grades, they can change at any time, I once had a 23-D go from a 64 to a 66.

This happens all too often. That is the problem.
An upper end MS64 regrading MS65 is not big suprise....but 64 to 66 and a 66 10 years ago now grading 68..etc.etc...that is bullsh*t. Plain and simple. Money is the root of all evil. So true.....
i think ms #s mean too much to some people here
It means tens of thousands of dollars "here"!! The beauty never changes. I only wish I had the CLAM$ to buy the 2 I am missing.
Thanks for the compliment.
