<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 886412, member: 15309&quot;]I don&#039;t mind at all.&nbsp; There are a lot of major marks on this coin.&nbsp; If you look at the 49-D above it, you will see marks buy they are mostly small nicks.&nbsp; The 54-S has some really major marks including some in the focal areas of the coin.&nbsp; A big one on his cheekbone, his chin, and in his hair.&nbsp; There are also major marks on his coat and the reverse field above the dome.&nbsp; Also the photo is overexposed and hiding smaller marks in the fields.</p><p><br /></p><p>Planchet irregularities are usually confined to the jawline and upper coat collar.&nbsp; These don&#039;t affect the grade and are evident on the jawline of this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the end, there is no way PCGS would give this coin a gem grade with all of those major marks.&nbsp; MS63&#039;s are usually pretty rough.&nbsp; My guess is that the overexposure is hiding more than I thought because PCGS will usually give a bump for a variety like this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
