    At what point does damage to an uncirculated coin cause it to fall out of Mint State grading?

    I'd call this MS60- Detail and VF30 net for extensive damage to the surfaces.

    That is NOT damage! It's the planchet and if I am not mistaken, it's what's referred to as a "woody".

    My name in lights,, finally, as it should be. I like the coin, I like earthy browns for a number of reasons,,, $ cheaper (I can spend $3-4k and get the entire 09 to 20 or 20 to 1930 decade in MS'ish instead of paying the same for a couple coins in red MS , they match up easier in a set , no worries about spotting in a holder , and imo they sell easier and are easier to make $ on the sell......

    Looks like this one is in a holder already... and I'm gonna say it's an honest woody,, or someone decided to give it a tar bath before sending in to a TPG, which doesn't make sense to me. Some nice tone shades in there.... which I also like in a woody.

    I'll say MS65 BN.. NGC.

    You are have better picture taking capability than me too.....

    Chime in folks,,, I'll include the results in the other thread.

    Clearly a woody! Not the best pic/scan... maybe some interesting color on Abe's forehead unless that's digital noise from playing with the levels of the image.

    Thad, you are a devious person. Now if Bahabully gets close, he can't claim to be the "ignerent collecter" he has been doing any longer.:D

    I would say mid to high MS. hard to pin it down being a darker coin and from pics. I'll bet it looks great in hand.

    Thats a very sharp strike, its a little hard to tell, but a 66 may be pretty accurate.
