paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 06/15/2017 9:35 pm I cleaned up the photos a bit as far as colors go, to see if this helps OP :) You can see some light golden brown toning up at the top of the obverse, at least, that's how it appears. I agree with ANACS's grade as assigned. Note that there is no sign of circulation on the cheek or high points, but as is typical for this date and mintmark, there are tons of planchet marks, bag marks, nicks, dings, and minor hits. This is a tough date in any Unc grade, and gets much tougher above 63. In Prooflike, MS61PL to MS62PL is about as "common" as it gets for this coin, with DMPL being scarcer yet. In MS63PL/DMPL and above the premium ranges from substantial to "OMG."

MS60 is a grade seldom seen and when it is you expect the coin to be ugly and/or beat up badly. That coin is neither of those. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
coin197 Pillar of the Community United States 1963 Posts	Posted 06/15/2017 11:40 pm Thank you for cleaning up the photo! Yes, that is almost how it looks like in hand. I am almost sure I will be crossing it over to PCGS at the World's fair of Money. What photo editor do you use to fix photos? Report this Post to the Staff

It's old, but I can't really afford to buy a new version, and I have lots of experience with it at any rate.
