<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1265170, member: 31533&quot;]Regardless of what you think right now (current thought) a MS-68 is quite a difficult one to get. You might have it, I&#039;m not saying you don&#039;t but a MS-68 needs to be darn near perfect. If a coin has a small ding on it&#039;s rim, two light hairline type marks or a scuff on it&#039;s reverse and a small bagmark on the obverse, depending upon other issues, that may be enough to stop the coin from being graded a MS-68.</p><p>You say that yours has no miniscule scratches, but have you examined that in a darkened room with the proper lighting, and used a good magnification on your coins? That is what the top TPG graders do, and they have the experience of doing thousands of coins. You may have an exceptional coin or coins, and that&#039;s good, but find someone who is knowlegeable about the Mint State grading to give you an opinion if you don&#039;t want to send it to a TPG. Or, conversely, do what Protovo suggested and get a couple good pics up here. Many people here are able to grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
