trent Valued Member United States 355 Posts	Posted 03/12/2014 6:09 pm Hi. I don't really have much experience grading. Usually I can get close to what other people think, but this one is giving me a hard time due to the scratches on the shoulder/chin/cheekbone. That's because photograding guides I find show normal wear, but not damage such as this and I'm not sure how it effects the grade. I'd sincerely appreciate hearing what people think. Thanks!

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 03/12/2014 7:36 pm Nice LMC Trent! I'm on the learning curve to when it comes to grading, so I'll leave that to the experts. But that's a cent I'd be pretty happy with to fill the hole in my album. Report this Post to the Staff

mdrosophila Pillar of the Community United States 724 Posts	Posted 03/12/2014 10:19 pm It is AU55 without the big ding. The ding will at least bump it down another grade. AU50/EF45 is possible. Report this Post to the Staff

jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 03/18/2014 11:54 am Small date AU-55. Ding on shoulder is within normal range of "bag damage". Most grading is on the fields not the bust. Report this Post to the Staff
