Is it possible for a weakly struck coin, missing some detail, to grade higher that about MS 60-62, or so? It's my understanding that part of the grade given to a coin is related to the details of the design. For instance, if an otherwise pristine, unmarked, uncirculated and untouched coin such as a 1921 Peace Dollar was missing hair and feather details and the lettering blended into the field, could it be given a top rating?
