This is an old ANACS MS-60 holder, 1892 Barber 25 cents:

scratched??

Wonderful album toning. Terrific look. But my eyes were drawn to the scratch first.

Congrats on the gorgeous Barber.

There is a scrath there, but it's exaggerated by the lighting. If I moved the lights around, it would be pretty well hidden. In hand, you'd have to look for it a bit.

Great coin with no buts.

for grade it's in....wow that's got nice eye appeal even with the light scratch which i'm sure lighting enhances

MS-63 due to the scratch

Actually I bought the coin like that at the 2001 Long Beach show, it was already toned that way. I'm not really sure if the holder did it all by itself, or it was in an album before that. Either way, I'm glad it made it to my collection!

Hi,

It looks tyical of ANACS holder toning. There was a time when this was actualy "select BU/scratched, no more. Then MS60

genuine if sent to pcgs. every coin i have sent in with a pin scratch like that comes back genuine. i stopped buying coins with any type of elongated scratch. keep it in it's current holder. that's my recommendation. i like the coin, btw, but pcgs is really strict on these scratches it seems.

Do others feel it would not even garner a 60 with that eye appeal?

Sometimes I call scratches like that affordability marks. Nice eye appeal on that one.
