<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 2323660, member: 73165&quot;]Carbon spots are purely an eye appeal factor.&nbsp; According to the PCGS <i>Official Guide to Coin Grading and Counterfeit Detection</i>, second edition, p. 28, &quot;There can be a little minor spotting for copper coins&quot; in MS65.&nbsp; For MS66 (pp. 27-28), it simply states &quot;The eye appeal will almost always be above average for a gem-quality coin, and many MS-66 coins will be superb in this category.&nbsp; Any negative factors must be compensated for in another area.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin in question has very mark-free surfaces, and, IMO, excellent eye appeal.&nbsp; I can see literally nothing that would keep it out of MS65, unless the luster is impaired, and, with great luster, I can see it as a 66.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
