KaiserSoze Valued Member Germany 141 Posts	Posted 07/22/2019 7:23 pm Came across this. As nice as it looks it unfortunately seems to have a planchet defect at 4 o'clock on the obverse in the field. What happens in grading if a coin has a planchet defect? Are there people who collect that? If gradable please grade! Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/22/2019 7:41 pm This is a very common coin up to and including MS-67. This one appears to be about a 64, but with the photo shot showing no luster it's hard to tell. I myself would wait. If that is a planchet defect it detracts rather than adds collective value.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 07/22/2019 7:54 pm I agree with moxking, and for the reasons given. Fields blemish free, but hard to grade at this level with these pictures, could even go as far as 66. Report this Post to the Staff
KaiserSoze Valued Member Germany 141 Posts	Posted 07/23/2019 04:12 am So does the planchet defect get factored in like a scratch or does it get noted but is ignored in grading? Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/23/2019 08:13 am Agree it's difficult to grade without a better sense of the luster. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
KaiserSoze Valued Member Germany 141 Posts	Posted 07/23/2019 08:21 am Does a die crack like the one on the right side of the obverse affect grading? Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 07/23/2019 08:32 am I have to agree with MS-64 solely because of the lack of luster .There doesn't seem to be a problem with that coin , planchet flaw or die crack on obverse is minimal and would not detract from grade .

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18663 Posts	Posted 07/23/2019 1:12 pm sharpness and detail wise could be in the MS65+ range. the blemishes in the photos on the profile and hair could hold it back from going higher. I'm more concerned with the original luster as none of these photos are letting us see the surfaces that well Report this Post to the Staff
