<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2763674, member: 19165&quot;]Well here&#039;s one you don&#039;t see all that often. </p><p><br /></p><p>Strike: 65. These are tricky, because they are intentionally made with soft images. I&#039;m judging the strike based on the amount of high point pitting, which is a key indicator of a weakish strike. </p><p><br /></p><p>Luster: 66. It appears bright, but not flashy. It looks like attractive luster. </p><p><br /></p><p>Eye Appeal: 66. If you like the blast white look, this coin is for you. I prefer a bit more color or patina, but I know a lot of people like them like this. </p><p><br /></p><p>Contact marks: 65. A few in the hair, a couple of minor ticks in the fields - but there are a ton of ticks on the sails. Now, there is some debate over how to treat these in the grading room. The common practice at the TPG&#039;s is to forgive them as an artifact of a weaker strike. I, personally, think they should detract from the grade. Lehigh and I have debated this many times before on his Jeffersons, and there just won&#039;t ever be a consensus. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, I wouldn&#039;t be surprised with a 66 from PCGS. I personally like it better at 65+[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
