I'll bet it's quite an interesting conversation! Most likely an awful loud sucking sound being heard!
You graders REALLY think THIS is an MS64?
"World class" graders, my ass.

Pretty little coin. My birthyear too. Hmmm...if they grade them all MS64 and under now, maybe my MS66 will hold/increase its value
Russ.......don't become the next sleepy hollow resident now.

Maybe a new Modern Grader just started. They always wax everyone for a few weeks when that happens
There is alot to be said of loyalty.

<< <i>Hmmm I remember coming back from FUN 2003 and relating in one comment that many of the dealers and collectors thought PCGS was grading tightly and hearing from a couple of you who have posted in this thread how anti-PCGS I was.
Time and experience changes the minds of even the most stubborn of us. Even me!
Oh, and line 7 is NOT an SMS coin. I suppose I should have known better since I've been through this "if it looks good stick it in an SMS holder" crap before.

Last year I submited this 1954 quarter, mark-free with nice tone, and swore up and down it was a lock to go 65 or higher. In the picture I posted here was a dark line along the jawline, and a bunch of people jumped on that and said it would never grade above a 64. PCGS sent it back in a MS64 holder.
Take another long hard look at the coin when it gets back, maybe the graders really did see something you didn't.

See a "guess the grade" when the coin is on the way to PCGS and they just take the consensus and don't need to waste time?
