<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jtlee321, post: 2161017, member: 73983&quot;]There is actually almost no chatter across the coin.&nbsp; The only area with contact marks from being hit by other coins is on her neck and a spot on the reverse at the bottom.&nbsp; The rest of what you see are areas where other coins were resting and slid a little while in a bag.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen many 65&#039;s with similar or worse surfaces than this one.&nbsp; The biggest thing holding this one back is as others have said, the weak strike.&nbsp; However, to my eye&#039;s that weak strike is what gives this one character.&nbsp; Had it been fully struck it would have more than likely eliminated the planchet striations.&nbsp; On the other hand, if the planchet striations were not present with this kind of weak strike, it would be rather boring.&nbsp; Then you throw in the eye appeal of the toning and it has blossomed from being an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan.&nbsp; So it will stay in my collection as is and I will enjoy it for as long as I own it (which will probably be as long as I&#039;m alive).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
