j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 03/09/2008 07:10 am I dont know what you mean by "natural." The overall reverse looks like different toning (and corrosion/deterioration?) reaction from metallurgic and handling impurities. My guess: Grade is MS something with overall grade of AU++. Then again, the shine on the obverse may be hiding unseen wear. Report this Post to the Staff

I have never seen either 'in hand', only pictures really, and I don't really know what the differance is. Report this Post to the Staff
