[QUOTE="jtlee321, post: 2539175, member: 73983"]That line under George's earlobe is the seam between his jaw and neck. It's a specular highlight. You sir, have an eagle eye!! I had to break out my loupe for attributing varieties to see that one. It appears to be a possible strike through by a hair, because of the way it does not reflect light. It does not optically behave like a scratch or a hit where metal would have been raised. It's kinda odd. This quarter was in a flip labeled MS-65 which I usually take with a grain of salt, but when I looked at it under my 3X loupe at the show, I just couldn't see anything that would make it a 65.
