[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 24656023, member: 105571"]I cannot make any definitive judgement unless you can tell me that the parallel lines are raised above the fields. That said, I think you have several things going on with that coin: First, there are what appear to be die polishing marks. These won't affect the issue of a straight grade versus a details-it will straight grade. Second, there are some non-parallel marks that look like they could be hairlines or worse. Depending upon how prevalent these are, it could affect whether or not the coin straight-grades. If it straight-graded, it could affect the final grade, typically hairlines or even minor scratches netting it down a grade. Cameo? I think it's on the bubble. I've seen less cameo on coins in cameo holders. My opinion: Send it in for grading. I'm with [USER=11540]@ldhair[/USER] - the coin is too nice to put it in a holder. I think it will straight-grade and garner a PF-63 or on a really good day, 64.[/QUOTE]
