moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 01/26/2016 2:11 pm Right t-Bop. Drives me nuts when people think a bag mark(s) or toning, or a scratch or a rim ding reduces an uncirculated coin below MS-60. The reason it's a 60 is because it has mucho problems. The reason it's NOT AU-58, or ANY circulated grade is because it's still uncirculated regardless of those problems. You might think the coin is ugly, and most 60's (or even 61's) are ugly but that doesn't mean an uncirculated coin is going to drop below 60. Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6396 Posts	Posted 01/26/2016 3:44 pm I agree the chin marks have nothing to do with mint state status. The markers for a circulated coin are friction on the high points and loss of original luster in the open fields. The obverse appears to show a distinct area of gray discoloration from below the eye to the chin, with lesser "grayness" on the neck and in the obverse field below the chin. Absent an in-person examination of the coin those discolored areas say "friction" which in turn means the coin is not mint state. Only an opinion of course! Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 01/27/2016 10:21 pm 63, but I think the right field on the obverse caught the grader's attention, hence the reason why it graded a 64. Report this Post to the Staff
