<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rhoggman, post: 403607, member: 13987&quot;]I posted a similar type coin graded by DGS.... MS67</p><p><br /></p><p>I came to the conclusion that the deciding factor in a high grade like that ends up being the definition of what people view as &quot;major distracting marks&quot; vs. &quot;contact marks&quot;. Based on how people view these marks a coin could do some serious swinging between 64 -67.</p><p><br /></p><p>This may not be the case but just what I gleaned from conversation. </p><p><br /></p><p>An MS67 can have contact marks in main focal areas (only a couple), but obviously not major distracting marks in a main focal area.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also a 67 cannot have any visible to the naked eye hairlines.</p><p><br /></p><p>One more thing.... it seems to me that coins like this can have small breaks in luster or spots that appear differently than most of the coins.... These may actually not be &quot;marks&quot;, but I really don&#039;t know how to describe these?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
