<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BUncirculated, post: 1471209, member: 29581&quot;]To learn about coin grading you need to learn about marks, and wear.</p><p><br /></p><p>The marks on the rim of the coin from the link you provided are not in a key focal area for that series and are acceptable for a MS grade. The amount of the marks, as well as how deep into the design or the fields around it will determine the fractional, or numeric grade in the MS range. Marks, like on the rim of this one, are also evaluated for location on the coin as well is if they are distracting, and diminish the eye appeal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Had there been any wear, from circulation, the coin would not be a MS, and depending on the amount of wear it would could grade AU, or About Uncirculated, or less.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
