They would have to be very small considering the size of the coin. The most noticeable is on the chin. The planchet is a little rough which is typical for the time and I don&#039;t think the roughness is corrosion related. The reverse has some crumbling of the rims in the denticals from 3 to 5 O&#039;clock. Examination of the edges should confirm the die issue verses edge bumps. Detail in the blouse and leaves indicate a strong strike and only barely off center towards the left where the denticles disappear or alternatively a small planchet. Color my be a little dark, but well within normal variation.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m thinking about XF/AU50 depending on what you call a 50 and wouldn&#039;t be surprised if a TPG found a way to stretch it a couple of grades higher. Now if you think it&#039;s actually a weak strike, you could even get it to the MS range, but I think that&#039;s a stretch.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s my opinion and I put more faith in non grading observations than grading opinions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
