<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 7528716, member: 37839"]Ok, the reveal. When I bought it, I was pretty sure it was a MS details coin. Then, I looked carefully at the area to the right of Liberty on the obverse. Under a loupe, they appear to be slightly raised. So, this one is a confusing coin. Obviously, it was dipped. Is the area on the right field area of the obverse contact marks, or a die artifact. Answer: I don’t know. Now, for the grade. Where did PCGS ever get this idea for a grade? It seems to come out of left field. Either the area in question is a die artifact (struck through die polish?) or it is contact, and that would make it MS details. I see no circulation wear, so how does PCGS get this grade? At any rate, I am enjoying it as an attractive coin. The photos are very accurate as to how it looks.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1299912[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
