Message:: [QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 490928, member: 7957"]OK, here you go!  BTW, I reduced the picture to the size you are supposed to grade coins, 5X (actually got 6X on my computer), and not 15X. On the reverse, the green X's are marks on the slab.  The black X's are dust as best I can figure.  The "mark" on the "N" in one is a discoloration and is not an indentation.  The "marks" below the "F" in of are die polish lines as best I can figure.  They are extremely faint in hand.  Just to be fair, there is a mark above the "O" in one and a very small one below the "R" that you did not mention. On your blow up of the face, there is a (single) mark at your arrow and a (single) mark on the brow.  If you are trying to say that there are more marks below your arrow, all I see is hair detail. At the date, the stuff to the left are some more die polish lines I believe.  Again, these lines are extremely faint.  At your arrow, I cannot find the top line, the middle is discoloration (see the Heritage pic), and I can make out a minute line at the bottom.  With your 30X blow up, things appear that I cannot see at 5X. This coin is not perfect, but I have seen 65 coins with as many marks as are on this coin excluding the planchet flaw.[/QUOTE]
