panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18640 Posts	Posted 11/07/2022 07:48 am quite a few ticks on the cheek bone, jaw, lapel near the bowtie. they are minor and most likely enhanced by your lighting. the weakness on the lower steps if very typical and can be seen even on MS66 coins. thats not from wear and the rest of the steps are pretty well defined. reverse has couple minor ticks. all these exclude the coin from a 66 grade. the coin is way better than a 63 so that narrows it down to 64 or 65 as the possible grade. i looked at multiple graded MS65 coins and think its short of that so I'm at MS64RD Report this Post to the Staff
