Hmmm?
When I sent my "Overpolished" Peace Dollar in to receive the variety attribution VAM, I was hoping it would upgrade to a MS64! I sent it in to have the coin "reholdered". It was a PCGS MS 63, w/non- variety attribution, no VAM.
Notice the
"ELITE 30?"
"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!

I noticed this one particular coin as well as some others that are graded MS 67 or MS 67+ by the Major grading services have harsh die polish lines. Yet they are awarded such high grades. Does this make sense as they are very distracting to the eye even though they are mint made. Should these coins be lowered more in grade? Your opinions?
I had a similar question many months ago, regarding a 1926-D buffalo nickel that had the details of a VF coin, but it was, in fact, uncirculated.
It's just one more reason to "buy the coin, not the holder."
I have an 1842-O small date WB1 half graded VG10 (ICG) with VF20 wear on the obverse and reverse except where the WB1 obverse and reverse dies are characteristically weak. IMO, it's undergraded at least two grades. I'm just hoping to get it to a minimum of F15 with a crossover.
I usually have nothing to do with proof coins. However, I am currently putting together a small set of Proof Indian Cents.
My primary reference is Bower's Redbook on Flying Eagles and Indian Head Cents. According to him the Indian Cents from 1901 to 1907 SHOULD come with heavy die polish lines. In fact, he claims the more lines the better because that makes them the first strikes. No idea how they look in person or what factor they play with grading service grades.
