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.

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.
“I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong.”
“Then you trust more to your imagination than to your knowledge?”
“I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”
Albert Einstein- quoted in Saturday Evening Post interview (1929)
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!
