TaeKenDo Pillar of the Community Canada 737 Posts	Posted 06/10/2015 10:22 am Paulsz - Can't really answer that as I don't have the coin in hand, it was sold on ebay but near the tress looks like a fingerprint to me although I'm not sure it would make a difference in the grade. But here is the ebay link to the actual coin: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/151698651931...RK:MEBIDX:IT Report this Post to the Staff
DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 06/10/2015 10:31 am That is such a beautiful 65 from ICCS. So hard to find a large dollar surface so mark free. In the past few years,..I've seen baggy dollars and 50 cent pieces graded by them as 65's..so I don't get this one.. Report this Post to the Staff

TaeKenDo Pillar of the Community Canada 737 Posts	Posted 06/10/2015 10:44 am What I have noticed lately is more of an ICCS acceptance of MS66/67 grading. PCGS has been grading coins as high as MS70 I believe. It seems that the MS66 is the New Norm and that MS65 have been dethroned as the King of Grades. This coin was at one point graded at MS65 because ICCS might not have graded higher (MS65 being the perfect coin). But now, there seems to be a demand for micro grading. It is my opinion that if regraded today, ICCS might regrade it at MS66. PSGS/NGC I'm almost certain. Report this Post to the Staff
Paulsz Pillar of the Community Canada 2187 Posts	Posted 06/10/2015 10:49 am I believe this is the coin http://www.icollector.com/1-00-1950...65_i21394056 From these pics on icollector, I would lean towards MS65. Nonetheless a stunning coin Report this Post to the Staff
TaeKenDo Pillar of the Community Canada 737 Posts	Posted 06/10/2015 10:50 am doubleeagle59 - Why wouldn't the dime becompared? Because of the potentially limited usage that the dollar would get as compared to the dime ? Report this Post to the Staff

1cent Pillar of the Community Canada 1051 Posts	Posted 06/10/2015 12:30 pm TaeKenDo, you can't compare the two because the dollar is a bigger, heavier coin and will by nature take more hits in the fields - and be allowed to do so - at the same assigned grade. Report this Post to the Staff
