<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2732893, member: 69760&quot;]IMHO, part of the strangeness of the &quot;philosophy of grading&quot; is that many MS-63 coins have greater and deeper noise in the fields and bust; yet, the relatively smaller noise in that small area may lead to a Details assignment since it looks like someone cleaned that area (which to me looks worse than &quot;natural&quot; hits of the same magnitude). I think that if those scratches were replaced with &quot;natural&quot; hits, then it would grade MS-64 or 64+ for the obverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
