[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 4862431, member: 105571"]It looks like a solid 30 to 35 to me. I don't know how JA looks at adjustment marks but my guess is that he would turn up his nose, therefore no bean. Here's my thinking: - The bean is awarded on the judgement of the coin being an A or B example of the TPG grade. - The TPG grade is a market grade, thus the bean is awarded on the basis of a judgement of the coin's likelihood of bringing an A or B price in the market. - Adjustment marks supposedly do not act against a coin's grade but we know that they must since adjustment marked coins typically bring less money than their unmarked siblings. - This coin looks like a solid 30 (edging to 35) to me so the TPG does not appear to have down-graded it for the adjustment marks, unless the TPG thought it was a 35 and dinged it for the adjustment marks. - Therefore, an adjustment marked coin that is otherwise solidly graded must be a C coin. There are a lot of assumptions and perhaps erroneous conclusions in that train of thought so let me add a couple of more reasons why I think it didn't get a bean: 1) Old cleaning and retoning which I understand JA usually doesn't like but sometimes makes exceptions. 2) What appears to be damage to the shield (could be dirt, photograph, etc but I'm assuming there is some non-Details damage there). All that said, this coin has a lot of eye appeal and I would be happy to have it, bean or not. So send it to me when this round is over![/QUOTE]
