dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 08/03/2012 10:11 am I was not planning on delving into this particular area of the hobby but self-control did not get the better of me and I went ahead and purchased my first of several commemorative coins that I have my eye on... I am grading this easy high AU, 55 or 58 and I want to even venture that one of the 3 TPGs might, MIGHT, see an entry level MS coin here...the eye appeal is just ridonk on this and the mottling is equally appealing to me personally...i love coins that have toned to this degree now quick, someone hit me with reality Report this Post to the Staff

kookoox10 Pillar of the Community United States 1054 Posts	Posted 08/03/2012 2:19 pm Oh boy, AU anything at the least, I can see a low Mint State grade on this one. The luster is slightly muted because of the presence of the toning. Report this Post to the Staff
