mbren116 New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 05/18/2019 08:32 am Don't remember seeing one with as large of a die scratch on the obverse (as well as many all over), and the reverse having what looks like heavy die polishing. I don't really know this, so how much do these affect the grading of the coin? Aside from them, other than a couple of hits on the jawline, it's a really nice coin with great luster. Any help? Thanks!! Report this Post to the Staff

mbren116 New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 05/18/2019 10:20 am Ok, how badly do they bring the grade down, likely? Can a coin that has all these still get an MS grade? Edited by mbren116 05/18/2019 10:27 am Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7042 Posts	Posted 05/18/2019 9:36 pm Coins with die scratches can get a grade of MS,however extreme cases (like yours) might hold them down around 63/64 or even 65. Remember to take in eye appeal, which is part of the grading system.......I'm sure someone with more expierence will jump in..Also to CCF Edited by Greasy Fingers 05/18/2019 9:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
