Yea, I think the marks to the face are detrimental for the grade. This one is still a great buy IMO, with just the slightest weakness in the hair above the ear....and the reverse is nearly perfect. The other coins in the envelopes are similarly toned, but they were a bit more beat up...I just got the nicest ones of the bunch. I didn't get them graded until the end of the week, so I didn't care how much they were ! I just had to have them ! Ever get that feeling ? ha ha ha ha Thanks for you opinions !
