<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gmarguli, post: 5873516, member: 246&quot;]If you ask a professional grader what is the biggest mistake amateur graders make, they will likely tell you that they tend to focus too much on one minor thing and not take in the entire coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, this coin has some flatness on the hair. Is there anything in the fields that gives the impression that this coin has circulated? They are extremely mark free, especially the reverse. Most likely there is some weak strike and cabinet friction.</p><p><br /></p><p>The rim marks are most likely minor planchet flaws, which is generally acceptable on such an old coin. The denticles are fine. If you question them, take a look at the PCGS site to see what they have put in an MS66 slab. </p><p><br /></p><p>You can debate whether the coin is an MS65, but a grade of EF45 is just stupid if using the Sheldon Scale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
