<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 6735310, member: 37839&quot;]Ok, the reveal, and logic behind what I would say is an accurately graded coin.&nbsp; If we can help each other learn, this becomes a far more constructive place for the hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1271272[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>No question the coin is a gem grade.&nbsp; First of all, the toning is premium, if one likes that color pattern.&nbsp; The luster is medium-high, and is a positive, not a negative.&nbsp; Now, for the cheek slash—as can be seen on the full slab photo, it is a tiny mark.&nbsp; The straight on photographs exaggerated it.&nbsp; Upper left obverse fields are not bagmarks—they are gradations in the toning layers.&nbsp; Given that the coin has obvious eye appeal, good luster, no major distractions, it definitely is graded as a gem.&nbsp; The 65 is an appropriate grade—probably on the low side of 65, but a 65 for sure.&nbsp; The color bumps it into the mid range of 65.&nbsp; Were it an NGC coin, it would most probably have gotten a star designation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
