<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Spark1951, post: 24572952, member: 90692&quot;]Pam…there are 3 major things going on here with your coin:</p><p>1.&nbsp; It is a MAD…correctamundo!</p><p>2.&nbsp; That circular scuff on the left side was made by a wrapping machine (PMD).</p><p>3.&nbsp; That is die deterioration on the date, IGWT and Lincoln’s profile.&nbsp; It is not “flat and shelf-like, so, imo, is not machine doubling.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one other major thing I noted is something that is <i><b>not</b></i> going on:&nbsp; There appears to be no wear.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can ballpark grade to most levels, but coupling no wear with a scuff, a MAD and die deterioration…my best feel for what a professional grader would assign as a final grade is MS61.&nbsp; I did not see any split-plating, but, imo, if any were obvious I think the grade would slip to AU55.</p><p><br /></p><p>Question for members:&nbsp; Is any split-plating allowed by TPGs?… I have seen many Zincolns with minor split-plating that still retain decent eye appeal.&nbsp; Is split-plating of any type an automatic disqualifyer?…Spark[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
