<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 5331290, member: 103207&quot;]I zoomed in on the obverse and number of times trying to figure out whether it&#039;s a die crack or a cracked planchet.&nbsp; To me it looks like a planchet flaw.&nbsp;&nbsp; As far being graded MS 67 I wouldn&#039;t give it that grade based on the the condition of the reverse alone.&nbsp; I would call it MS 65.&nbsp; However, the way grading services operate if they know there are few examples they play a numbers game when it comes to grading.&nbsp; With this being claimed to be the finest known if the next lowest graded coin has been graded MS 65 I can see how they would now push this coin into MS 67.&nbsp; It&#039;s just how they broke down the condition census.&nbsp;&nbsp; If they called it a MS 65 (which I think it is) and there is another that is already graded as MS 65 by calling it a MS 67 it points to it as being the finest known.&nbsp;&nbsp; Either way it&#039;s a very nice coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
