<p>[QUOTE="Pickin and Grinin, post: 4124911, member: 73995"]The only reason I said 62, was because that is what I thought PCGS called it. If I was in the market for this coin I wouldn't pay more than an AU price. Just because when I look at the coin I can see what looks like planchet imperfections and slight bag marks that are more than acceptable marks for me when grading MS. The marks that take it out of MS are the shiny flat lusterless marks on the high points and the field, just because it is on one side and the other, should not guarantee an MS grade. Circulated does not mean it was carelessly transferred into a pocket, and used in commerce, even though it was used in commerce. This coin was bought and sold as bullion. And as far as I am concerned those secondary marks ARE circulation. </p><p>These marks do not look like marks from being in a bag, otherwise they would be on both sides of the coin. These marks remind me of stacking marks. Tipping the coins, falling into a tube or a paper roll. (old timers) These marks should not IMO be on a MS coin, even a low MS coin. And are clear evidence of mishandling and should take this coin out MS state.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
