<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 416907, member: 15309"]I can't figure out what that is on my coin. It is not a contact mark as there is no depth or displacement of the metal.

If it is a 68, it is definitely low end for the grade. The toning on this coin is very nice, but not enough to bump the grade. The luster is incredible, but IMO, it darn well should be at this grade, so I don't think that would bump the grade either.</p><p><br /></p><p>I actually have an 1881-S MS67 to compare the coin to, but the toning on my 67 is so deep that is makes any comparison difficult.
