I am going to give you the ebay posting pic from Coastal Coin Company's auction as well as pics I took from a couple of different angles. CCC touted this as "AU" but I'm not sure so fire away PLEASE Cost - $39.67 Auction Pics from ebay Posting Here are my cam shots when it arrived yesterday - amazing level of detail I think The stars are just totally defined with NO wear whatsoever but does that make it an AU? luster angle in the light - this coin really does shine Report this Post to the Staff

epikur Pillar of the Community Sweden 729 Posts	Posted 06/12/2012 10:37 am With a tiny wear on the horizontal lines, I'd grade it EF-45 At least according to: http://www.shieldnickels.net/anaGra...andards.html Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: The stars are just totally defined with NO wear whatsoever but does that make it an AU? No, it justs means the reverse die had little wear, with no grease obstructing the minting, and the coin was well-struck. She's a beauty!! Report this Post to the Staff
