<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 218656, member: 4920"]My honest opinion for what it's worth is that the face and neck can go as contact marks but I'm not sure what to make of the more indistinct, "flat" fields, especially left field obverse. That's where, while I usually don't mind seeing a few contact marks, I do like to see those microscopic mint lines that take my breath away. But instead, I see mostly an indistinct, "flat" appearance. The problem for me is that that appearance, to one degree or another, is all over the coin. As such, I'm inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt, and say it's storage or mint originated. That makes me grade this MS-63/64. Look at the infield reverse--it looks the same (indistinct, "flat") as the outfield reverse. That's why I hesitate to let that be a distracting factor. BTW, nice work, I like it! :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
