<p>[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2567572, member: 19165"]I wouldn't. That slab is a really early generation, and is really cool. I would grade the coin 64+. PCGS may give it a 65, but with that hit on her skirt I really doubt it. There are enough ticks in the fields and minor scattered marks to really limit the grade, even though the luster is very attractive. Eye appeal is strong, but the strike is only average - which is again going to limit the grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know you had mentioned in another thread that you thought the mark on her skirt could be a pre-strike artifact.
