<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bigjpst, post: 748145, member: 21015&quot;]I just got back from a coin show in Pasadena I have been trying to put together a certified set ms65 or above with my fathers birthyear and today got a dime graded NGC MS-67....I have been reading and reading grading books and online and in this forum to try and learn as much as I can about grading and my question is PCGS grading standards says ms-65 and higher coins must have full strike....so this coin is at such a late die state that it shows very weak around the edge and the date and has a die crack that runs up libertys neck all the way to her cap and splinters off towards the edge....does this still constitute a full strike? I bought it because I kindof liked the toning and the crack and think I did pretty good price-wise...opinion?</p><p><img src="http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad217/bigjpst/1940s.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad217/bigjpst/1940sreverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>and I know these pics aren&#039;t the best, but you can see the crack on her neck[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
