And the other part of the twist.
On a well circulated coin I wouldn't worry about the rubbing but on a MS or even an AU. I would roll the qtip. The coin looks much better.
There isn't a number grade on this one. This is in a gen 7 Sample slab. Most of these Kennedys are MS64. So, if you said MS63 or 64 then you would...
