Looks like a tiny of carbon milk spot at her dimple besides what is mentioned, the reverse has a weaker strikes around America.
I am thinking MS-65 FB.

The obverse is better than the reverse. I think it could get FB.

Look close at the jaw, upper neck and below the wing. With this lighting you can see another black spot in the ear. The spots are not carbon, their location is important. For some reason I did not pay attention to them before I sent the coin in for grading  |

Is this possibly a coin that has been re-plated? Sometimes black marks like that are gaps in plating.

The coin would not have made it into a PCGS holder if it had been plated.

I thought the lines were planchet striations. What do y'all think?  Here is a little closer look.  |

Maybe. What did PCGS give it?

Here's one more closer look. My camera focuses automatically. I got the coin a little closer to the camera, so it's a better focus. It brings out all the details.   |

Are those lines raised? That patch of lines looks like it could possibly be a wheel mark.

I'm guessing you know if those spots and lines are on the coin, not the plastic slab. Sometimes people think there is a problem with a coin and find out later it was on or in the slab. If all that bothers you, just melt that one down and look for a better one.  |

Are there lines on the rim too? It could have been slid on some sort of surface at some point, or maybe they're contact lines from the slides in an album?

Ouch, that looks like rub on the coin. The lines stop at the recesses in the design so it is not on the holder but the coin. I will retract my MS66FB grade guess. What a shame, that was a super gem before someone rubbed it.

D0ubl3Eagle got it right at least according to PCGS. It looks like the coin may have gotten stuck under a black rubber wheel in a counting machine for a short time. I was surprised when it came back in this holder. In hand it is beautiful. Thanks Carl, lets have a roast. Thanks all it's been fun.  |
