[QUOTE="Insider, post: 3102017, member: 24314"]thomas mozzillo, posed: "Judging by the photo of the obverse, IMHO it looks damaged and doesn't deserve a straight grade." Tom, Let me :angelic: be charitable and respond out of character. IMHO you need to learn the difference between a [B]baggy[/B] coin and a [B]damaged[/B] coin. You are being extremely critical. Let me explain what I mean about being too critical. If I take a perfect coin and strike it using the reeded the edge of another, [B][I][COLOR=#ff0000]I'VE DAMAGED THE COIN[/COLOR][/I][/B] and it does not deserve a straight grade. o_O:facepalm: Do you see my point? ;) The coin is Uncirculated. Mint State coins are graded on a scale from 60 to 70. A coin grading MS-60 is so beat up that the grade is rarely used anymore. An MS-70 is Perfect. This coin falls near the middle of the scale and is not "my" MS-66.[/QUOTE]
