FadeToBlack Pillar of the Community 1751 Posts	Posted 08/15/2013 10:35 pm The flatness can be the result of a weak strike, but the darker areas, the areas that have lost frost, is where you have rub. Back of cap Top of cap Above ear On cheek On neck On nose Front hair Eagles chest Eagles legs Wreath All these points exhibit frost breaks, indicative of light wear. I'm betting this coin never circulated, but spent time in an environment where it was allowed to slide around a little, hence the term slider. Report this Post to the Staff

1893S Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 08/15/2013 10:59 pm I should add that there is a slim possibility that because of the photos provided the sharpness of detail is lost but I don't think so. Good luck! Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 08/16/2013 10:49 pm I've looked at this many times now and still think it's a MS coin (typical weak struck Philly) with bag rub. MS62/63. IMHO of course... Report this Post to the Staff
NathanASE Pillar of the Community United States 1511 Posts	Posted 08/16/2013 11:12 pm still a well... A weakly struck 63. I see absolutely no signs of wear, just bag rub.. & I think the dark spotting is more do to the photos as if appears in more than just the typical wear areas. Report this Post to the Staff
