Morganman412 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 10/23/2020 11:56 am I sent in a 1888 O that has a flawless cheek and almost no damage on the coin. It graded ms62. Did they count the toning as damage? Report this Post to the Staff

Morganman412 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 10/23/2020 12:14 pm Here are some more pictures of the coin under magnification. It has a bunch of toning but look at the damage, there really is none I can see other then a very light scratch, and again this is under extreme magnification Report this Post to the Staff

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 10/23/2020 1:05 pm Looks like fingerprints to me. Strike isn't particularly good. Why send to a TPG if not going to accept the grade? Report this Post to the Staff
hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7276 Posts	Posted 10/23/2020 1:10 pm The pictures aren't great, but this is not a coin I would grade. MS 62 looks fair to me. My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff
machine20 Pillar of the Community United States 1277 Posts	Posted 10/23/2020 1:12 pm I'd give it a 64 without the scratches but I think the graders saw those as the problem Report this Post to the Staff

scopru Pillar of the Community United States 5029 Posts	Posted 10/23/2020 2:03 pm We all have our own opinions of how the various TPGs grade. To the OP I think your coin is graded correctly from the images provided. Report this Post to the Staff

Numis-Northerner Pillar of the Community Canada 857 Posts	Posted 10/23/2020 4:51 pm I agree with Keith12, however this coin I would say wouldn't be out of place a MS-63 holder Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 10/23/2020 5:03 pm I wouldn't exactly call that a flawless cheek . Report this Post to the Staff
Morganman412 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 10/24/2020 12:12 am The toning does look like fingerprints, but it's just toning no bag marks or chatter of any kind. The only damage is 2 tiny scratch, I guess you guys think the finger print type toning is damage. They count toning as damage? Report this Post to the Staff
Morganman412 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 10/24/2020 12:16 am Been collecting a long time and grading as well. Almost always correct, very surprised at grade. I'm guessing that toning gave bad grade, cause it's not from damage. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 10/24/2020 12:24 am Toning is not usually considered damage. I also agree with the grade given. Report this Post to the Staff
smat45 Pillar of the Community United States 2334 Posts	Posted 10/24/2020 05:44 am I guess you could try and CAC it to see if they gold bean it...? smat Report this Post to the Staff
