<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 1595635, member: 36864&quot;]It is pretty simple, hairlines always look much worse on coins with larger areas of the fields showing.&nbsp; On Morgans, the fields are pretty well protected by the the large devices and deep relief so they tend to still show very few hairlines.&nbsp; But on seated coinage, especially on half dollar pieces, the fields are very exposed and easily pick up hairlines over the years.&nbsp; Grading companies just compare one grade to another and fit the coin where it belongs within the series.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Congrats in the pick up Jason, that is the only series after 1840 that I have yet to aquire a proof example.&nbsp; Hopefully the N.O. ANA show will end my drought.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
