One50 Valued Member United States 361 Posts	Posted 03/08/2024 11:18 pm This coin is graded MS64 from PCGS. The reverse side on the shield has no vertical lines. What are your thoughts as to why? Is this common in this series? Thanks Dan Report this Post to the Staff

One50 Valued Member United States 361 Posts	Posted 03/09/2024 12:03 am It's the sellers pictures, not in my hand. But multiple pictures show the same flat surface. The horizontal lines are so clear how could the vertical lines just be a light issue? Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5663 Posts	Posted 03/09/2024 02:16 am Agree it's likely a lighting artifact. The light source appears to be coming from the top, so the horizontal bars will show up clearly, but the vertical bars will not be well-defined. Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 03/09/2024 09:37 am You can see traces of the lines in the photo, so I'm with the crowd on it being lighting (although the vertical lines were never super sharply defined to begin with on these.) Die wear might also be a factor as the coin has numerous die cracks. This would be a pass for me with those photos for 64 money. Worried that the photos might be hiding some issues with the cheek in particular. I'd ask for better photos first before throwing bids in.

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36655 Posts	Posted 03/09/2024 2:24 pm Chances are the shield lines are there and it is a photo issue. The over all strike looks good so I doubt there is a problem only with the shield area. Report this Post to the Staff
