    Hello,

     

    I have only taken a "serious" interest in coin collecting since about 8 months ago, and my grading skills are not yet what I want them to be.

     

    Out of pure curiosity, can you help me out here - on the '65 Gulden, why does it look like the Queen's hair and ear has wear from circulation? Was it really struck like that, or is there actual wear? If it's the latter, how did it receive the mint state grade?

     

    Thanks a lot for helping out an old collector who only recently got serious!

     

    (By the way: amazing friggin' coin. I am a sucker for beautiful toning like that!)
