numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11899 Posts	Posted 04/05/2018 8:18 pm I was itching to get into the bidding for this one. There were two people who were bidding on this coin. The bidding stopped at $93. The person who won it was willing to go higher, but I regret not throwing a bid out there and try to snag it. I think it is beautifully struck in the reverse with fully split stars and rays, which is rare for this first year experimental striking. I see MS64 coins that aren't as well struck as this one. I should have tried harder to snag this one. Thoughts on grade or problems? Report this Post to the Staff

Steelers72 Pillar of the Community United States 1448 Posts	Posted 04/06/2018 5:51 pm Color looks questionable. I would bet it looks cleaned in hand. Nicely struck stars though. Report this Post to the Staff
