<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 7882418, member: 19165&quot;]The approach to grading is honestly very similar to most other series. Cheek and hair over the ear on the obverse, and the eagle&#039;s breast and thighs are the high points to look for wear or hits first. Strike can often appear fairly weak. </p><p><br /></p><p>Luster is one of the big keys of this series - in order to get a gem grade, PCGS really requires strong luster. To get a 66 or higher, it needs to really pop. </p><p><br /></p><p>On your coin, the luster appears quite dull. I don&#039;t know if that&#039;s because the toning is hiding it in your images or not. I see some discoloration on the high points, but without moving it and see how the luster behaves I can&#039;t tell if that&#039;s just toning or actual wear. It doesn&#039;t look like wear from these images. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t see many major hits on your coin, but the dull luster is going to hurt it. I could see it at 63 or 64, depending on how it looks in hand. </p><p><br /></p><p>Do you have any more specific questions?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
