<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 5390909, member: 101855&quot;]Proofs that were stored in coin cabinets tend to get hairlines because velvet is not nearly as soft as it might seem to be. Opening and closing the drawers can cause the coins to shift which can result in hairlines. If you do that over 100 year period, the marks can mount up.</p><p><br /></p><p>The OP coin has been dipped and is a bit cloudy as a result. It has some like handling marks made more visible by the mirrored Proof surface. I think that the grade is correct.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
