Some dates [of proof coins] in the 1880s and 1890s merely have a frosty appearence, but can be identified as Proofs by their shart edge. Now, combine with the earlier posts, I'm thinking it might be a very used proof die... Report this Post to the Staff

Coin has die issues but is otherwise completely a 65 with strike, luster, surfaces, and lack of injury. Yes, it is semi-PL, but not fully PL by any means. Regardless, it is, without a doubt, one of the sharpest non-Proof strikes I've ever seen on a V nickel.

The above verbiage is what I always use for MS Morgan/Peace and generally applies at this corresponding level for the majority of, if not all, US MS coins. It seems that 64 would broadly be the cutoff point at which an obviously distracting obverse ding like this one at star 12 slides by for 65 suitability. 65 would have been my guess if I had reviewed these aforementioned notes b4hand. This is why I appreciate these grading forums immensely since they develop one's proficiency in 'more precisely and timely" nailing down the legitimate grade: a money-saving skill so desperately required in fast-paced auctions... It supports me in making CCF donations more often than not. Report this Post to the Staff
