I really only see one hit on his chin , and maybe another on his shoulder , the smaller ones are all planchet marks and don't count against the grade . Thinking 66 .
Oh, yes they do count. However, they are much harder to see since they have toned with the coin and their bright shine is gone. Also, they are usually quite small and cannot be seen.
I always thought that the small planchet marks , and Die polish lines didn't coun't much against the grade . So how much do the smaller planchet marks on his shoulder and one the O really count . I can see where the larger marks counted against the grade on the last contests coin , but they were quite deep .
Just like nicks, you have to be able to see them. That is why I say they do not count AS MUCH as most nicks. They are significantly more difficult to see.
Well, it may not be the solidest strike ever, but it is way above average and in particular for this coin. Philadelphia was noted for their poor coins from '45 to at least '59. I will bet there is not 1000 67's from PCGS in that era COMBINED. For reference, there are nearly 2,500 for 1943-P alone, but that is the most common year by far. Enough of the history. Descent strike, real nice luster, and nearly mark free. You can just barely catch some of the planchet marks. Nothing nearly enough to drop it to a 65, so PCGS gave it a 66. It would not amaze me if resubmitted it could get a +.
Same results as last week only this week it was just petro89 and ReaperRuler who switched places. Columns are rank, name, average, and number of guesses. 1. rzage 0.375 50 2.

Both right as most people were , but my score stayed the same . Must of dropped 2 good ones , dang where are the wrong ones when you need them . I thought I had a bunch of bad ones coming up . Some tougher coins coming up .
