[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 904435, member: 112"]Yes it is specifically adressed. It says quite plainly - no major marks. That means not even 1. To a point I disagree Mark. I say to a point because of the PCGS standards, they definitely do not address many of the variables from 1 coin type to another. The ANA standards on other hand address all the various types of coins and provide the specific standards for each. Again, for the PCGS standards I would agree with this and that is the major problem I have with their standards. But again the ANA standards do not have that problem. They address each specific coin in each specific grade and provide the appropriate standards. However - none of this has anything to do with the question at hand. The question was quite specific and the standards are also quite specific regarding major marks in prime focal areas for coins graded MS65. And I still say there is no way to avoid that, to make excuses for it, to try and say it is not addressed or to say it is ambiguous. It isn't in any way shape or form. And to try and pretend it is - well that's a cop out IMO.[/QUOTE]
