echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 09/28/2009 2:09 pm Is that wear of the right wing tip? If that is wear I would drop the grade to AU-58. If not than I would grade this coin MS-63. Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 09/28/2009 2:12 pm I also think 62 or 63. Report this Post to the Staff
BuffaloLover Valued Member United States 62 Posts	Posted 09/28/2009 4:44 pm Thanks guys, Nope there is no wear on any part of the wing. Must be my bad photography. I compared it with the grading book and I think it is either MS62 or 63 because of some contact marks on the cheek and neck. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/29/2009 09:34 am This coin would need to be seen in-hand to evaluate the cheek; it's really tough to photographically differentiate between actual scratches and contact "rub" which removes the frost without getting much into the surface of the coin. The first lowers the grade; the second, not so much. This one could go anywhere from 62 to 65. Report this Post to the Staff
