<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 104001, member: 112"]Wyatt lemme ask you - what's going on in the fields of that coin ? It's hard to tell from the pics but it looks like it's seen some rough handling and has lots of hairlines. And right in front of Liberty's face, are those just light scuff marks or scratches ? Look at them with a loupe, if metal has been moved they are scratches. If just scuff marks there will be no metal moved. This makes a great deal of difference as to grade - and if they are scratches & are severe enough the coin is not gradeable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
