[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 3826210, member: 15309"]I’m sorry, but that evaluation is crazy. The coin has no indications of friction in the fields at all and I don’t see wear on the high points either. Reed marks in the rim are not an indicator of circulation without making an enormous assumption, one that a grader isn’t allowed to make. The coin has rim dings, but none of them even approach the realm where they would be considered damage and make the coin a problem. Furthermore, rim dings are no different than any other kinds of marks. The presence of a significant rim ding is either severe enough to cause a details grade or it isn’t. And if it isn’t, the presence of other smaller rim dings can’t push it over the edge into problem coin territory. Calling this coin AU = Crazy Calling this a problem coin = Crazier I promise you this coin is in the MS63-MS65 range. I personally chose MS64 because of the muted luster and rim dings.[/QUOTE]
