<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 2599201, member: 37839"]My take on the coin is that without the monster hit, it would have been a 65 PL. I don't see any 66 surfaces, but definitely 65. Given that the hit is "Grand Canyon" magnitude in a major focal area, I would drop it two grades to a 63 PL. However, I have seen coins with hits like that body bagged by TPGs as details. It is a really attractive coin with a very unattractive feature. I would go with the 63PL, and pass on buying the coin, due to major surface contact. Then again, a grader with a woody against the coin could "details" it very easily, even though it is premium uncirculated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
