<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 3299233, member: 31533&quot;]The other thing you need to realize is that grading MS coins from 60 to 70 is an &#039;art&#039;. Just because you have a brilliant coin that looks to you like it has all it&#039;s luster does not mean it can be graded a MS65. Your coin looks like it has a few more hits than would be allowed for a MS65. All MS coins from 60 to 70 are uncirculated. Lower grades allow for some luster diminishing but it does not mean that if a coin has full luster it still qualifies for a higher grade. I think based on your pics, that your coin would be lucky to get a MS64. I&#039;m being generous. I personally, if I was interested in your coin to purchase and someone graded it a MS64 or 65 and I bought it based on that grade would be very disappointed to see it with all it&#039;s marks, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: left">Here is the info from a grading company about Mint State. </p> <p style="text-align: center"><font size="3">&quot;A Mint State coin can range from one that is covered with marks (MS-60) to a flawless example (MS-70).&quot;</font> </p> <p style="text-align: left">Meaning that you could conceivably come back with a MS 60 or MS62 for this coin if it was sent in for grading. And the coin would have to be probably a MS67 (not going to happen) to even be worth considering to have it graded. Yours is shiny but it is not flawless or even almost flawless. </p><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy the coin though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
