Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1949393, member: 112"]That's just it, it is not just two thin lines, pictures 3 & 4 clearly show more lines. When you look at pics 3 &4, that's when it looks like the coin was wiped. But when I first looked at the coins, I also considered the possibility that the line might, stress might, be on the slab. But because the lines in pic #2 clearly show they are not on the slab but on the coin, and because they are in the same location as the lines in pics 3 & 4, it then becomes reasonable that the lines in pics 3 & 4 are not on the slab, but on the coin as well. And since it is commonplace for hairlines, from a coin being wiped or anything other cause, to only be visible when you look at a coin from a certain angle, it is then understandable as to why you cannot see all of the lines in pic #2 when you can clearly see them in the others. Now is it possible that I am wrong ? Yes, just as it is possible that you are wrong, and just as it is possible that NGC over-graded the coin. But that could only be determined with an in hand exam. I am voicing my opinions and my reasoning for such. You are voicing yours - we disagree, no surprise there. But don't forget, there have been other early '80s S mint Morgans graded 66 by NGC where even you claimed the coin did not even deserve a 64 grade.[/QUOTE]
