[QUOTE="just coins, post: 612113, member: 17543"]I really don't see anything wrong with this rim that would bring the grade down substaintially and bag this coin What I see on this coin is a nice toned reverse coin natural to me and possible a end roll coin, which may bring the grade up. The graders really are interested in the focal points of the coin which is the cheekbone area. The first area that always wears out is the cheekbone the upper cheekbone area , because it;s the highest point of the coin ,that wears first and the eye hits that area first when you look at the coin that;s why it;s the focal point of the coin . I do see lite wear on the upper portions of the wheat stalks right side and some slit wear on the upper cheekbone area. I have a little problem when it comes to grade coins from a photo because photos can lie. I have to say by the pics I would grade the coin AU58 range and NGC might even bumb it up a grade for the reverse toning I doubt it, because it;s really not an MS coin to me ,but pretty close I have to say.
