Show me a coin that has, in your opinion, the perfect look for the grade…
I consider this 1877 1C to be perfect for a VF25:

I have a few like that (wish they were all like that) but not really good images of them.

MS66 CAC.
This is MS65 and I’ve considered sending it in for a regrade.
AU58 CAC
Great coins so far!
This is another one that I consider perfect for the grade:

Still haven’t found an AU50 Trade dollar that I like better than this one (it’s also beaned, for those that care about such things.)
Great silver dollars!

Love that T$! Depends how you feel about chops, but imo this is the best I've seen, also AU50 CAC.

Beautiful Trade dollar! Would someone pass on this coin if it wasn't beaned?

A lowly dollar.
PCGS XF 45
I think this is a close to perfect example of a Morgan F15. Great original color with lighter shades on the high points, circulation dirt but not too much to be a distraction, and a solid rim without nicks. From a wear perspective, the lower leaf is distinct, and most of the lines in the eagles wings are evident.
Oh so close to a 64 but not quite there.

Only a VF-20?
Sometimes graders who don't like dark coins will knock the grade down. Ain't right but we all know it happens.

Quite a few OGH PCGS coins are under graded and this flowing hair piece is at least a vf-30 IMHO.

Then there is also this one (which I like, but which IMO is not perfect for the grade).
PF68 (How is this not a CAM and only a Brilliant Proof?).
One more. This one at PF-67+ CAC is really solid for grade.
Great coins!
