I guess the reason I'm making this thread is because I want to get opinions on whether this is a good grade. The fact that it's in an old PCGS holder makes me think it should be OK, but the scratches on the right obverse field look like damage. I have a few PCGS MS62 coins that just seem to have a bunch of bag marks...nothing that looks like organized scratches in a group or something. Maybe it's the photos that make it look that way; however, that area is also mentioned in the description. I love the slight toning around the rim. I just want to see what CoinTalk has to say about the right side before I bid. Thanks.</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1142&Lot_No=3522&Lot_Id_No=176002" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1142&Lot_No=3522&Lot_Id_No=176002" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1142&Lot_No=3522&Lot_Id_No=176002</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
