[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 104816, member: 2972"]This coin has been graded by NGC as a MS 64. It is in a old-style fatboy holder, but is accurately graded, IMHO. No chance for a 65 on this coin. The scratches you see on the large 1 and to the right in the fields are cabinet friction / mishandeling. They are not evidence of circulation. Circulation on these coins typically show up on the oak leaves on the wreath, and on the bow at the bottom of the wreath. Inspection of these areas shows them devoid of wear. The spots/verdegris mentioned by some of you indicate that this coin has original surfaces, rather than the contrary. The uneven toned skin also indicates this fact. The scratch seen in the right obverse field is this coin's biggest problem, and it is much more noticable in the picture than in-hand. The half dozen or so dealers I showed the coin to (including a former grader) have all agreed with the grade and stated the surfaces are original. Take care...Mike[/QUOTE]
