<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 3870179, member: 15309&quot;]The coin has incomplete strike which is design related.&nbsp; I see no friction at all in the fields so the coin is mint state.&nbsp; The coin says gem to me and the cheek and fields are very clean.&nbsp; The impairment on the neck is the only real problem that could limit the grade to MS64, that in combination with the reed marks on the Eagles neck and other minor imperfections.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=78244]@TypeCoin971793[/USER] &amp; [USER=75818]@Dave Waterstraat[/USER] mentioned that the coin is probably graded MS64 because it is in an older holder.&nbsp; I&#039;m going with the alternate scenario.&nbsp; It is still in an older holder because it was already graded MS65.&nbsp; The financial gain from MS64 to MS65 is simply too high for nobody to have tried to upgrade this coin after all these years.&nbsp; The only way an MS64 could have survived in an older holder is if it resided in an old timer collection, so here is hoping this isn&#039;t from [USER=101855]@johnmilton[/USER] personal collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>I say MS65.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
