<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 26557855, member: 105571&quot;]When I first saw the image of this coin, I thought the rim dings weren&#039;t enough to merit a Details grade.&nbsp; When I saw the more-or-less parallel scratches in Liberty&#039;s hair I first thought adjustment marks but upon closer inspection, I saw no evidence of scratches in the fields, stars or rims.&nbsp; Adjustment marks typically don&#039;t limit themselves to just the bust and are typically heavier than the scratched on this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>So my original thought on this coin was that it might go either way depending upon the service and the day.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know this is after the reveal but it doesn&#039;t really surprise me that CACG detailed it.&nbsp; They are notoriously tough in their grading.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If adjustment marks are unequivocally that, it doesn&#039;t disqualify a coin for me.&nbsp; But if the marks are ambiguous then I tend to steer clear.&nbsp; For me, I would have passed on this coin despite it otherwise being very lovely.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now here&#039;s a coin with unequivocal adjustment marks on the reverse.&nbsp; Note it straight-graded from NGC.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1692349[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
