smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 09/25/2012 8:42 pm Put me down for AU55. Thats what I would grade it as. Awesome pick up! Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/26/2012 09:16 am That odd weakness in the denticals is common with these. I would want to see it in hand but in the pictures to me it looks rather blah and lack luster as if it has been overdipped. It has some weakness from strike but I believe it is probably Unc. So to me from what I see I would call it MS details cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
