OK I'll stick with my 62 grade.  I feel they would have net-graded it because of them.

Nice one Stevo, the marks on the star and left edge of the shield might bring it down a bit, likewise the mark across the King's face. (A hopeless at grading guess at MS63). Are they die cracks either side of the date?

Yes they are die cracks and there's quite a large on on the obverse as well so it's obviously not an early strike

PCGS seem to be not that enamoured with die cracks.
MS62 maybe creep into the 63 range but I doubt it :ok:
