That's ridiculous, here is my best, that I had graded by LCGS
I could display the coins side by side, but the many differences are glaringly obvious (at least to me!). My coins was graded 1 notch better than the one for sale in the forthcoming auction (CGS 70 vs CGS 65).

An early example of a coin to help the partially sighted?
