<p>[QUOTE="WashQuartJesse, post: 2754659, member: 18323"]I make bold statements like that all the time and we all have our own standards. For me, and I'm partially repeating myself here, I could let the eyebrow and even the cheek hit slide @ 66 if the coin was lustrous, had eye appeal, was O.S., and had clean fields (which it does). A focal breast hit on a Washington though, holds it back from higher than a 65 imo. That's usually not disputed? The multiple leg hits and multiple reeded edge hits drop it down to a 64. I could see it getting a star or + at 64 and might even be arm pulled to 65... but it would be arm pulling. I'm usually pretty damn close to spot on w/ WQ grades and have never read anything on eye appeal, or this or that, justifying a complete disregard for focal point issues in this series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
