<p>[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 1733613, member: 7957"]Start out by saying that the darker appearing areas on the reverse are shine and not toning. First off, most all of the "nicks" you are seeing are left over planchet marks. (They do not show as well in hand as most nicks nor count as severely.) Secondly, even those icons are 3X on my screen. If you cannot see the nick there, either the coin is at the wrong angle or the nick is just plain too small for a grader to see. Yes, there are a couple tiny nicks (gradable nicks), but most all do not show in hand. Nice luster and strike, so they gave it a 66. I even think it is a nice 66</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]271484.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
