It may appear to be fine in the images, but all of the circumstantial evidence points towards it having a problem. Best of luck with it though.

I Received the coin today. Very strong luster on obverse and reverse. The coin has a small stain on the reverse on the eagle's right wing, not bad but I don't know if that warrants a details grade? No signs of hairlines or dipping/cleaning...just the light spot/stain/ Overall I like the coin, what do you guys and gals think?   Edited by RK55

I take it you mean the eagle's left wing facing.
Spot looks very circular in pic. Can you show us a close-up?

It's a beauty and I'm still at MS-65 on this one. Great coin.

Close up of the reverse stain on the coin. looks like a little fleck of metal in the center of the stain.   |

TPG's don't detail for stains unless you try to remove it. Seems unlikely, but could it be a spot where solder or something of the like was removed? That would be a details grade. My gut said the photos were juiced somehow. All else considered, I'm at MS-65 as far as the details and luster is concerned. I don't know what kind of effect the stain will have at a TPG. |

I don't like that fleck of raised material inside the stain. I think it's a details coin at this point and if it were me I would be returning it.
Edit to add - Looking at your photo and the seller's photo side by side I'm convinced the seller's auction photo was photo shopped to hide the extra metal. All details appear very similar except this anomaly.

The coin is off to ANACS along with another MS 1946 DDR Walking Liberty half. I decided to keep the 30-s quarter since I have a buyer who has seen it in hand and will pay me what I paid, if it comes back MS details. If it comes back graded non details I will keep it. fingers crossed, and I will post photo's when it comes back. |

Good luck RK55. I think you will be happy with the grade when you get it back. That slight stain just doesn't look like it would warrant a details grade. I'll be waiting to see what you find out!

Results, a little better on this coin than the 1946DDR walker.   |
