I'm a bit of a contrarian. The technical grade means less to me than strike quality, preservation (surfaces), and eye appeal. Given the choice of an average strike somewhat flashy UNC or a well struck AU SPL/PL, I'd take the AU. That's just me. Others see the technical grade as more important. Collecting is like beauty. It's in the eye of the beholder. The real question is how would you feel about the upgrade a year or so down the road. It's your collection. Nobody else can tell you whether your first coin or the new coin is the better coin for your set. Would you regret the purchase down the road? Would you wish you could go back in time and undo the deal? Or would you be happier with the new coin and never look back? Report this Post to the Staff

These marks are distracting and significantly hurt eye appeal. I'd estimate MS-62 based on these images. Report this Post to the Staff

I couldnt fathom the thought of a heavily toned coin in any shape form or fashion. There are some people that go out of they way to collect them. Different strokes for different folks. If it was a really good PL, Id leave it go and keep the grade loss. Report this Post to the Staff
