<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 119101, member: 112"]There are more things than marks that can drop the grade. For example, take a close look at the stars. Some of them are quite well struck with full detail while others are nearly dead flat. Same with the hair & crown. On the reverse the E & N in CENTS are quite weak as are some of the finer details in the wreath. Then there is luster - while the luster on the obverse appears to be quite good, there appears to be very little on the reverse. And eye appeal plays a part - for some folks the mottled toning can be a detraction. Of course that part is rather subjective and could easily change depending on the grader.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also you should take into account that ANACS is, used to be at least, tougher on grading nickels than any of the other grading companies. Even so, I would say the coin should grade a tad better than 62 - I'd say 63.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
