Pokermandude Pillar of the Community Canada 1192 Posts	Posted 05/27/2015 12:57 pm I'd agree with a "net grade" problem-free MS-60. Report this Post to the Staff

TheCoinHunter Pillar of the Community Canada 1461 Posts	Posted 05/28/2015 6:24 pm Ouch. Are those hairlines on the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
doubleeagle59 Pillar of the Community Canada 2495 Posts	Posted 05/28/2015 7:35 pm Late to the party but I was somewhere between au58 (hairlines) to a high of an ms63. I can understand their grade of ms60 though due to the hairlines. PCGS would grade it Unc details (cleaning). Report this Post to the Staff
lambecolin Pillar of the Community Canada 618 Posts	Posted 05/29/2015 03:33 am Net grading SUCKS---especially if it is not attributed. Report this Post to the Staff
Pokermandude Pillar of the Community Canada 1192 Posts	Posted 05/29/2015 6:11 pm Net grading is fine. In this case, it's a rather nice coin (MS63ish without the hairlines), but with enough hairlines to make it borderline cleaned. A net grade of MS-60 is appropriate in this case, in my opinion. Treating the slight mis-handling of the coin as if the hairlines were heavy bagmarks instead. Report this Post to the Staff
wireman09 Pillar of the Community Canada 972 Posts	Posted 05/29/2015 7:56 pm Thanks for your grades and opinions. In hand this dollar is actually very nice. I purposely tried to post a picture that would show any defects this coin may have to get your opinions. Thank you. In hand or with a 10X loupe I cannot see the hairlines. I can only see them in a picture. Using the loupe you can see there is lustre on the devices and even a light obverse cameo. Looks like the coin has had a light wipe or was subject to cabinet friction. I don't think it's been cleaned as it still has original lustre. ICCS never gave it a "details" grade and I have to agree with them that I don't think it deserves a details attribution. Instead ICCS down graded it to a MS60 because of the light rub/hairlines. In this coins case I think it was the correct way to grade it. Thanks again for all your opinions as there always appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
