mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 09/21/2024 7:45 pm These reverse scratches do not appear to be on top of the devices. Depending upon what they are, I would like to know how the grade would change if they weren't present. Report this Post to the Staff

mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 09/21/2024 7:51 pm I'd like to ask the same question above for the obverse scratches here: It's hard to imagine this being PMD since they seem to be strategically or possible intentionally placed? Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/21/2024 8:03 pm I'll say AU-53. Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10580 Posts	Posted 09/21/2024 8:27 pm Not scratches - agree flow lines as stated above - worn die. AU55 (Maybe details - cleaned) Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74533 Posts	Posted 09/21/2024 9:57 pm I'll say AU. Those lines appear to be die flow lines, from the die starting to wear out. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 09/22/2024 6:41 pm What keeps this coin from an MS if these flow lines do not affect the grade? I ask because when comparing this coin in my hand (as opposed to all digital etc.) with PCGS photograde, MS 63 looks to be pretty close. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5674 Posts	Posted 09/22/2024 9:03 pm Agree with die flow lines. Looks like some wear on the lower hair/upper braid, so I'd say mid-AU. Photos aren't sharp enough to distinguish between wear and strike weakness. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36800 Posts	Posted 09/23/2024 07:26 am Rubbing and friction on the high points. Does not look MS to me. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18681 Posts	Posted 09/23/2024 6:22 pm i think there is too much light on them making the coin appear to be flat and lifeless. typically this signifies a cleaning (dip) without better photos I'm in at AU55 possibly cleaned Report this Post to the Staff
