<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cringely, post: 2128145, member: 22271&quot;]Sheldon&#039;s <u>Early American Cents</u> which created the 70 point scale only listed MS-60, MS-65 and MS-70. MS-70 was defined as a perfect coin and MS-65 as &quot;<i>a coin which would be a perfect MS-70 except for some small minor blemish. It may lace full mint luster, or some microscopic or almost negligible blemish amy be demonstrable. There may be a spot of discoloration, a fingermark, or a single barely discernible nick</i></p><p><i>&nbsp;The MS-60 is a Mint State or Strictly Uncirculated coin ...</i>&quot;</p><p>Changing the gradiation to a different number (<i>e.g.</i>, 100) could be done, but most likely won&#039;t (too much history).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
