Well, that would be meaningful if the coin was graded incorrectly, HOWEVER, it is graded correctly and stands no chance of upgrade.
Providing false hopes of a numeric upgrade is one of my pet peeves.
What especially kills me is when the seller knows the coin is correctly graded and says this little phrase anyway.
Anyone else want to vent tonight? >>
From the dealer's perspective, the dealer might not be "providing false hopes of an upgrade", but instead pointing out that, perhaps the 1886-O Morgan dollar in MS-64 at $12,000 might be a good decision compared with the same coin in MS-65 for $250,000, even if the MS-64 will never upgrade. >>
Then it's really a MS63 if the seller is letting it go as a MS64 at $12,000. Can't keep submitting a coin for a two point upgrade in your scenario.

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
I stood behind a collector once who was oggling at an average nice 1881-S Morgan and the dealer says "this is a better date" . The collector said nothing. I guess he was a newbie and the dealer could tell.
Some dealers will watch your emotional response as you examine the coin before they quote you a price. Stay emotionless / sort of disinterested or the price will be proportionate to the excitement you show.
Here is a real HONKER if I ever read one. As if eBay doesn't SELL enough, they have writers that clog up the website with THIS sort of malarkey :
Are you looking to expand your coin collection? eBay has the largest selection of popular and hard-to-find coins.

Be a venue, puhleaaaaaaaaaaaaaase I can find what I'm LOOKING for quite well, eBay personnel ! I don't need "YOU" suggesting to me what I "might" find at the auction house that is so full of crap that just peeking in makes me feel stupid because of what YOU put there.

Why does that bother you? I've been thinking about the same thing to help with shipping. Ebay and paypal don't give you everything you need to avoid shipping errors when you sell a lot of similar items. --Jerry
This applies primarily to EBay ... but a seller's description of a PCGS/NGC/ANACS-slabbed Morgan "Proof-like" or " DMPL ", but the TPG failed to describe it as such on the slab. It's all about the hype!

or, the seller could just be helpfully pointing out that your wasting time looking for the next higher grade if price is a issue

On the same coin: "You can buy this one now, and upgrade later"... "I don't like seeing holes in my sets"
Same shop, different coin: "I don't mind the rim bumps on that piece"

RARE!!!
"illusive" when they mean elusive, especially when it's not.
Nice Coin (when it's been dug out of the asphalt)
These terms are used much to liberally for my taste!
