nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15432 Posts	Posted 04/29/2023 05:56 am I see a coin with generally clean surfaces but very weakly struck. The strike is so weak it makes the high points look smeared - Lincoln hair, Eagle head and breast shield, etc. I say the strike holds this coin back from gem and is MS64 range. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 04/29/2023 07:39 am thx nickelsearcher. funny you mention strike as it is one of the reasons I asked the forum. any time I get my hands on something this clean I try to grade before even a glance online. I was at 65 with weak strike holding it back but when I went out to PCGS, almost same coin at 68 (even with super weak base on 7 and 1). At last, I officially give up ever trying to understand how they arrive at some #'s https://images.PCGS.com/CoinFacts/4...109_2200.jpg Edited by DOCC 04/29/2023 08:26 am Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18665 Posts	Posted 04/29/2023 08:19 am i agree with the strike but I cant take off enough to get this coin down to a 64 grade. a couple small spots on the reverse. full luster no breaks that I can see. I'm really close to MS66 on this one. Report this Post to the Staff

DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 04/30/2023 01:47 am Out of curiousity, does MD'ing - either minor or significant - have a negative impact on grading? Report this Post to the Staff
