KauaiHawaiiGuy Pillar of the Community United States 612 Posts	Posted 04/14/2021 5:19 pm The heading is the question. This coins up for auction ...... over in less than an hour, bids already over $100, but those sure do look like hair lines to me, think I'll keep my money in my pocket ..... Opinion on those lines on the reverse? Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/14/2021 8:45 pm I'd say MS-63 sounds about right. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5672 Posts	Posted 04/14/2021 8:52 pm Agree probably MS-63. Nice frosted devices, and if that scrape is just the frost, it might make MS-64. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18668 Posts	Posted 04/15/2021 12:53 pm the 87(S) should be above average in strike. this one falls into that box. the reverse hairlines are in fact polishing lines. luster appears to be broken on both sides. eye appeal would be average. obverse cheek/jaw marks along with multiple field scuffs and marks and scuffs and overall eye appeal will hold this one to MS63 Report this Post to the Staff
