<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 7638959, member: 105571&quot;]I just checked PCGS and their grading standards allow hairlines all the way up to PR-66.&nbsp; For PR-63, here&#039;s what they say&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Average or slightly weak strike with moderate marks or hairlines.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess one could argue that the OP&#039;s coin has much more than &quot;moderate&quot; hairlines and is thus not worthy of a 63 but more like a 61 which is defined as &quot;Multiple heavy marks or hairlines allowed.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Just for comparison, here is my 1937 PR-63 WLH.&nbsp; It has a few hairlines but not as many or as heavy as the OP&#039;s coin.&nbsp; Did they give the 1865 quarter a break because it is 72 years older?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1313744[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
