dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 10:21 pm thats a tough one does that need a touch of acetone to remove something on the surface? it seems to haze over the entire obverse the reverse looks like it holds more mint luster, no? I'm in at MS61/3 Report this Post to the Staff

CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 10:43 pm That is a very nice coin! MS IMHO, possibly full bands. To me, the obverse looks like the start of toning. Possibly a finger print? Not sure but it is a nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff

benchfreak221 Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 02/02/2013 08:52 am IMO MS, looks like a gash on the middle band, not sure if it would hurt the value or grade. Beautiful coin tho! Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/02/2013 09:06 am Only a couple of very tiny dings under AMERICA. MS64 FSB. Nicer than the average MS64 FSB wartime issues, where Mercury's hair detail is not as sharply struck up as this one is. Seems to have some die finishing brush marks to the obverse. Appear as light brush strokes. I don't think they are scuff marks on the coin. A hand held examination with a 20x glass would prove or disprove this. Report this Post to the Staff
