<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Speedy, post: 184527, member: 705&quot;]BTW--I don&#039;t agree with the grade--and I outlined in RED what I don&#039;t like about the coin..</p><p><br /></p><p>The black dots that I only outlined a few of are carbon spots--while that is almost normal coins I wouldn&#039;t grade it 65 with that many---also the spots on the back look almost like the coin was corroded at one time and was &quot;helped&quot; by a pro....but that could be a planchet flaw....and if that is then it shouldn&#039;t hurt the grade in any way but eye appeal.</p><p>The spots in the hair and stars (that I didn&#039;t outline) show that the strike was weak....and that is why the lack of detail.</p><p>I don&#039;t know about the other guys---and I&#039;m still learning grading and copper coin grading so I hope the other guys post with their thoughts---but I don&#039;t grade this coin higher than MS63.</p><p><br /></p><p>Speedy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
