<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 20884192, member: 78298&quot;]If it were to grade MS I don&#039;t see how it is more than a low 63, especially from a roll.</p><p>You could save brand new minted cents and not find a high grade in the lot over 65 or 66. When you get to the MS67 68 69 business strikes, it is almost impossible to find such a coin in circulation. In USA Coin Book the 1973-S in MS 65 is listed at 0.96 cents. Your coin shows a number of nicks on the reverse rim, some other nicks on the reverse and a scratch on the right shoulder on the obverse. A smaller scratch at 8 o&#039;clock on the obv. and other minor scratches. The gouge on the jacket I believe disqualifies it from MS.</p><p>Things can look good in hand to the naked eye but under a loupe you will see all kinds of defects.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
