Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/20/2018 02:12 am It's only considered a 4 step, lower one incomplete... But that one ding killed ya, a no stepper. Grade is low MS @ 62 maybe, a bit "baggy" (marks) Report this Post to the Staff
Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 09/20/2018 02:17 am Thanks for replying Crazyb0... Totally new to this grading thing! So any mark or ding kills out a 4 step designation then... good to know! Darn! I forgot to note that I did notice a small die break or crack on the left bottom corner of the Monticello building, so it is an error type to say the least! lol Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 09/20/2018 02:33 am Grade-wise, this is better than the previous examples I commented on, and is probably MS. It is not FS, though. As Crazb0 said, that gash on the upper left ruins any chance. It wouldn't have been FS anyway, though, with the common weakness on the lower steps slightly right of center.
