<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 3279827, member: 17665"]Fred's comment is correct. Bag/contact marks can occur right after a coin is made. First they are dumped into bins, then the are dumped into bags and then transported to be rolled. Anywhere along the way, in this process, they get jounced around quite a bit and hit each other. His grade of less than MS65 is an indication of these marks on the coin or coins. MS means Mint State and 65 refers to the overall grade. It may be a "pretty" coin for it's age but it is not a high grade coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
