<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldenFire, post: 1210961, member: 21162&quot;]I’m not real familiar with the grading of ASEs, so I was wondering is NGC was a little too liberal when grading this ASE. It is a 2011 (S) graded as MS69. So I guess my question is does this coin fit that grade of MS69? The reason I ask is because I notice some scratches and dings on the coin. I know their presence is what prevents this coin from being a MS70 (that much I know J), however, is the location and amount of these “defects” common for a MS69 graded ASE? Thanks for your advice and input in advance.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here’s the front of the coin, and the things that caught my eye are as follows: <ol> <li>A scratch on the dress above the knee of the leg closest to the rising sun.</li> <li>A curved scratch/ding on the rim of the coin between the B and E in liberty.</li> <li>Another curved scratch/ding on the rim of the coin between 0 and 1 in year of 2011.</li> </ol><p>[ATTACH]128100.vB[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The back of the coin (please ignore the black u-shaped fiber towards the top of the coin – I didn’t notice it was attached to the outside of the slab until after I took the pictures, and subsequent pictures after removing the fiber didn’t turn out nearly as well. Go figure.) <ol> <li>A ding next to the middle leaves of the olive branch.</li> <li>A light scratch next to the arrow tips.</li> <li>A light scratch above and running the length of “one” in the one dollar.</li> <li>A curved scratch/ding on the rim above the R in America.</li> </ol><p>[ATTACH]128101.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
