<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1918285, member: 42773&quot;]At the risk of sounding pedantic, let me post a 1964 Kennedy graded by PCGS at 65. The difference between this coin and the last is clearly obvious on the reverse. The shield has fewer contact marks, as does the entire coin, devices and fields. Also note that the shield, arrows, and tail feathers exhibit a much stronger strike, with copious detail.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]329294[/ATTACH] </p><p>The obverse of this coin has fewer hits at the base of the neck, but the hits on the cheek are comparable to the coin graded 64. And Chris - I see that odd metal flow on this coin as well - I had never noticed that before!</p><p><br /></p><p>So all told, fewer hits plus stronger strike equals one grade higher, as it should.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]329295[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]329296[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
