[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 888903, member: 7957"]I doubt seriously that 14-S ever had good wheat lines. Even the rims are almost non-existent in that area. That coins was not solidly and/or squarely struck at the mint. That is the second time I have seen you say MS coins "even though it has very little wear". If the coin has wear, it is not MS. It is AU or worse. Conversely, if the coin has no wear (wheat lines or not), it is MS. As for the strike affecting the grade, here is the PCGS definition. On paper, at least, I would have thought my 35-S should have been knock for its strike. BTW, it is not until MS-67 you get a "full" strike.[/QUOTE]
