KauaiHawaiiGuy Pillar of the Community United States 612 Posts	Posted 04/30/2021 3:09 pm This coin is at an auction, I like it and may bid on it if the price stays reasonable, but would appreciate second opinions before I commit. They are seller pictures but not too bad. Would like your opinion as to grade and if that spot at lady's neck would affect grade at all, or would details it or just a lower the grade. Thanks in advance ....... Report this Post to the Staff

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 04/30/2021 6:19 pm A bit splotchy but I'm at MS-63. Lower end of that range. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 04/30/2021 6:20 pm Nice luster and the abrasions look shallow and mostly minor. The obverse spot hurts eye appeal a bit but shouldn't cause a details grade IMO. MS-63 seems likely, though it would not be choice for that grade. Report this Post to the Staff
KauaiHawaiiGuy Pillar of the Community United States 612 Posts	Posted 05/01/2021 10:52 am Just wanted to say thanks to all that gave your opinions. Unfortunately this was an ebay auction and there were two Yahoos that both apparently needed it more than a breath of air and battled each other way beyond my "good buy" area, and so I let them have it.
