Message:: [QUOTE="iPen, post: 2340814, member: 69760"]Thanks - it arrived today! MS-69 sounds correct. I see some cameo loss on the reverse shield and Lady Liberty's chest. The scratch on the reverse to the left of the stars is on the plastic. The weird haze on the obverse above "IN GOD WE TRUST" is on the slab, I believe. And, does anyone know what this is that I'm describing below? There are these strange short skid marks on the fields, as shown in the first and third pics right next to and around the letter "Y" of "LIBERTY" on the obverse. It's not on the slab, I checked with my loupe - it's more intense on the edges of the coin than closer towards the center of the coin. It's a bit hard to tell from my photos, and doubly hard to take the photo since it's a deeply mirrored field, but I can try and take more. But, it looks like the short lines are 2mm in length and seem to be radiating from the center. Are they short lines caused by die imperfections? <img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1070551_zpsrcrengci.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1070552_zpszx6x61bv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1070555_zps7pobvdcz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
