BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 06/09/2014 10:51 pm It does not matter from a technical view point. The coin is either MS or it's not. Sometimes an accumulation of contact marks combined with diminished luster lands a low MS coin in an AU holder but it shouldn't. This coin appears AU+ in the images with the reverse looking more 55ish. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

ziskindd Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 06/09/2014 11:14 pm To be clear, I concur about the wear and the contact marks. But there seems to be a mark on the "Y" that is prominent. If I were grading, I'd give it a 55. Perhaps, that is why I am not a grader :) Report this Post to the Staff

Perhaps, that is why I am not a grader :) The gouge through headdress above the "Y" causes me more pain. Honestly? It does look more like an AU55 in the images. I assume it must have excellent luster in-hand because it appears as a mid-level AU piece in Heritage's images. P.S. Any image can be tough to grade from. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
