<p>[QUOTE="zaneman, post: 310388, member: 3970"]With the exception of a few of the dates that come weakly struck, the best way of determing circulation wear is to look at the cheek bone of the indian for rub and the feathers of the shoulder of the eagle. In my opinion these are the two areas where it is easiest to detect rub. Keep in mind that TPG's will allow slight friction in these areas and still call them mint state.</p><p><br /></p><p>Marks on the coin are factored into the grade, but you can have a relatively heavily marked coin find it's way into a 64 or 65 holder if the luster is blazing. I find that very often the only difference between a 62 or a 63 is the amount of luster.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
