<p>[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 1430055, member: 307"]very interesting opinions on the coin. As to the OP's question about <b>this</b> coin, I have to disagree with cladking. I advise you to look at the fields in the OPs coin, then look at the PCGS MS-65 coin, and then look at the OPs coin again. Not only are the field disturbances way too distracting, they are far too plentiful for an MS-65 grade. I think far too often people are so busy looking at the devices that they overlook the fields.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also think that the contact marks on Ike are too many and this coin could have luster breaks under those scratches not being shown in the photograph, but that requires an in-hand examination.</p><p><br /></p><p>To your attitude of "I only spent $4, I couldn't have lost too much" is commendable. You bought a coin and are now learning about grading it. That alone is worth the $4, and you still have the coin. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> So, in a long winded answer to your question, I think you did well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 1430055, member: 307"]very interesting opinions on the coin. As to the OP's question about [B]this[/B] coin, I have to disagree with cladking. I advise you to look at the fields in the OPs coin, then look at the PCGS MS-65 coin, and then look at the OPs coin again. Not only are the field disturbances way too distracting, they are far too plentiful for an MS-65 grade. I think far too often people are so busy looking at the devices that they overlook the fields. I also think that the contact marks on Ike are too many and this coin could have luster breaks under those scratches not being shown in the photograph, but that requires an in-hand examination. To your attitude of "I only spent $4, I couldn't have lost too much" is commendable. You bought a coin and are now learning about grading it. That alone is worth the $4, and you still have the coin. :) So, in a long winded answer to your question, I think you did well.[/QUOTE]
