wheatchaser140 Pillar of the Community United States 2368 Posts	Posted 08/04/2014 3:26 pm The reverse has a lot more detail in hand. The minute I picked it up I thought, "Wow! Those bell lines are strong for an S-mint." I'm not the greatest at coin photography (or any photography, for that matter) but the strike is quite full. Also I noticed the toning seems to cover it up a little, but the luster is nice. Report this Post to the Staff
wheatchaser140 Pillar of the Community United States 2368 Posts	Posted 08/05/2014 06:33 am I think my pictures might be able to explain the lack of replies after 100 views. Geez even I couldn't grade this haha. I'll post better ones later. I'm at MS-63 because of the bag mark on the cheek. It would be an easy 64 without it, with very clean fields.
