<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yKnot, post: 2690928, member: 47830&quot;]I have a question for folks out there.&nbsp; My 1931-S below is graded 66BN but it has quite a few marks on the bust and on Lincoln&#039;s beard for a 66 and it has a carbon spot at 12:00 on the reverse which is a bit distracting for such a high grade.&nbsp; I&#039;m wondering if this might be a good example of a net grade where the grade is in part based on the other coins for that year and m/m?&nbsp;&nbsp; For example, the bowtie is pretty wiped out but then I haven&#039;t really seen any 31-S&#039;s with a full bowtie.&nbsp; Some things that I think might be supporting the high grade might be the full &quot;O&quot; which seems to be uncommon for a 31-S and the other details, like the &quot;E Pluribus Unum&quot; which are also fully struck.&nbsp; Also from what I understand, marks and carbon spots which are not in the focal areas are more acceptable from a grading perspective.&nbsp; (The fields are pretty clean)&nbsp; I&#039;d be really interested in hearing any of your thoughts on the grade.&nbsp; Thanks.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]603521[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
