IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36782 Posts	Posted 06/21/2012 10:51 am I just don't think this coin will grade MS by any of the TPG's. It's a decent coin but just not a high grade mint state piece. Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12284 Posts	Posted 06/21/2012 2:00 pm I have to agree with the others, this coin does not look mint state to me and it appears likely it was cleaned/wiped at some point in its past. Overall, it simply has a circulated look to my eye (at least based on the digital images). Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.
