Its a lower grade Key date what do you expect. Not all that bad looking IMO.

Just what I was thinking but this is a big problem coin that was allowed. Just saying grading is not always right or even close.

Boosibri

I don't think it's a big deal

JeffMTampa

Not that my opinion means much, but I think the imperfections are within tolerance for a F 15 grade.

Goldbully

I find it acceptable for the grade.......key date makes it important to get some respect,

silverman68

Thanks for the pic. Go to listing on the tilted views to see the huge head scratch.

You will have to use the zoo. It starts near the hairline through the head. I guess my full graded set and submitting over 400 Morgans to PCGS has done nothing for me.

that coin is gradable regardless of date.

I am in the 12 or 15 is okay regardless of date after looking at all of the photos.

Looks like some light staple scratches. I think the "X" gets a pass because it does not look like graffiti but rather accidental from circulation. It probably teetered on the fence during
grading and fell on the good side.

BustHalfBrian

Seems right to me. That scratch on the cheek is superficial.

If I was looking for a 93-S in F15, I might look for a better one, but I don't have a problem with this being in a problem-free holder. Think about how many card games and bar counters this lady saw back in her day....

Justlooking

The staining and spots are bothersome, but the scratches would kill it for me ... if I had the money to buy one.

metalmeister

Is it me but, why do I see so many key dates with scratches in them?? Maybe it's just the survivors are all saved no matter the condition.

Coin Finder

In my opinion, I would pass on this coin. I will say from experience that this coin will holder with a grade from PCGS because the marks and hairlines are acceptable for the wear and condition of this coin.

DennisH

Great looking coin at first glance, but if it's another date it probably doesn't get into a problem-free holder.
I'm disappointed that this one did, and I would never consider buying any coin that has these obvious defects.

I expect nothing......

Icollecteverything

I never understand the theory/truth that key dates should/do get more leniency on the grading. The grade is the grade! I just don't get it.

Of course key dates are more desirable and people may accept a coin with problems or a a lower grade but they should make that decision, not the TPG.

Type2

Well that is why you can buy it or pass on it. If some one see's a coin that they don't like they can walk away. It's all on how we look at this stuff in the end that is what it is all stuff, Some will like it, some will pass on it and some will ask for a better price and will be happy with it....

JJSingleton

I see this as very gradeable at F15. But I collect Dahlonega so I've seen it all when it comes to graded straight graded coins.

DIMEMAN

Looks OK to me for the grade. What do you expect for a fine?

grote15

Looks market acceptable for the grade imo, also. If you have to blow up the coin 20x its size to discern the flaws, the flaws aren't that egregious to begin with, especially for a well circulated example.

Shamika

Key dates are sometimes handled differently.

winky

with 5 second grading what do you expect?

Maybe some people spend too much time looking at MS-67's?

But seriously, it's not like the marks are easily missed. If you are in the market for a Fine of this date, you can see the issues, assess the price, make a decision, and play or pass.

That's assuming you get to SEE the coin. It is fodder for the discussion of the "sight unseen market", and how TPG has "fixed" it, however.
