<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 4549165, member: 15309&quot;]Grading of classic commems is heavily influenced by luster and eye appeal, and this coin probably has an abundance of both that we can’t appreciate unless we see the coin in hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, the reed marks on the focal area are both unusual and severe with respect to typical surface marks found on these coins.&nbsp; It should automatically drop the grade of the coin at least one point.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My initial assessment was that the coin had MS66 luster and eye appeal based on the PCGS TruView and knocked off one grade for MS65.&nbsp; It is entirely believable that this coin has MS67 level luster and eye appeal thus netting an MS66 grade, but no matter how good the coin looks from a luster and eye appeal stand point, it seems out of place in an MS67 holder with the reed marks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
