The coin would have no marks or scratches on it at all, I need a starting point, and what if it had a minor mark on it how much does the grade go down? If this has been asked already please point me the right way. Report this Post to the Staff

Namachieli Pillar of the Community United States 2120 Posts	Posted 05/06/2010 3:45 pm Well its starts out as "MS" Mint state. From there you determine many factors from MS-60 - MS-70. Up until MS-65 its mostly based on eye appeal. Does the coin have a strong strike, are the any nicks or scratches from other coins or the minting process, and other things like that. Once you get above MS-65 its starts being more like hairline (possible microscopic) scratches, where they are, how big/long, and how many. MS-70 is supposed to represent the most premium possible specimen, No hairline scratches anywhere perfect center strong strike, and great luster / eye appeal.

mcshilling Pillar of the Community Canada 9162 Posts	Posted 05/06/2010 7:10 pm So if I find one with no nicks or scratches and looks real good I could say it is an MS-62 and be save with that or kept it at MS-60 That's great I didn't think they would grade that high, well that's my starting point.

Namachieli Pillar of the Community United States 2120 Posts	Posted 05/06/2010 7:46 pm With UNC I start at MS-64 and go up or down based on the above factors. But MS-62 and MS-63 is a safe bet if it has no marks, for the purpose of selling. Report this Post to the Staff
Funny Money Valued Member United States 424 Posts	Posted 05/06/2010 9:28 pm I figure new coins in bank rolls to be ms-63... give or take, depending on any scratches/nicks from the rolling machine. Report this Post to the Staff
