supgog Pillar of the Community Israel 2420 Posts	Posted 06/11/2013 10:26 am I can't see if the second diamond is there from these pics. If it is, that's a AU55 details coin, otherwise AU50. In any case, I believe it was cleaned at some point. Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 06/11/2013 9:33 pm Definitely a nice high grade coin but I believe your suspicions are correct, the color does not appear natural to me. I hate to say it but a nice even brown coin would excite me more. Probably because I have no experience with red IHC's, at least as far as ownership is concerned. Report this Post to the Staff
