Have a look at any coin with strong lustre in strong sunlight, and all of those microscopic colour spectrum points in the lustre just seem to jump out at you. This coin certainly looks like an MS something or other to me; perhaps 62 or 3. Report this Post to the Staff

jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 09/15/2012 08:56 am my only concern is the area to the left of Liberty's left arm ( our left, not her's). If that is a clash mark then I would say MS65. If it is chatter then ms60 Report this Post to the Staff
