Just got a new USB microscope and still getting used to it so please forgive the bright spots on the image.

Seems to be a in decent condition, however it almost looks as though someone tried to scratch off the tonin as the field has quite a few scratches on it. It is the toning that really caught my eye when I purchased it.

Please let me know what you think that this would grade at.

Very difficult to grade due to the brightness.

I would say anywhere between an au55 to ms62.

beautiful rainbow toning, but difficult to grade. I'd say at least AU (to be on the conservative side)

Hi middross, you almost have to have the coin in hand to grade, a little too much light and, toning to tell.

Even with the coin in hand it is tough. It is so toned that it almost hides the details. At first glance I thought that it had a lot of wear (I haven't invested in a loop), and didn't really get a good look at it until I got the USB microscope. I will try and get a better picture without all of the glare.

A loop is a must when coin collecting.

I know. I know. My father has one that I can use, but he is often out of town and I don't know where he keeps it. I guess that I should just bite the bullet and pay for my own.
