I acquired this a couple of years ago. This has a beautiful, original, toned look to it. The luster is halfway decent but not too strong.

These things are tough to grade from pics - one of the hardest types to differentiate high AU from MS. I'm thinking this one's MS65, but if it's AU I won't blush.

Forgive my poor eyes, but I'm having trouble telling if there is a complete double edge to the obverse star. A very nice looking coin from the photos, though.

I really like these tiny little silver coins...you get one in your hands and it's remarkable how thin and delicate they are. The antithesis of massive, heavy silver dollar!

This is in an NGC MS63 holder. The coin has no noticeable marks but just doesn't have strong enough luster to put it into a higher holder. It's a beautiful, original, and tough-to-find coin.

That's one of the little issue-specific things you just gotta know to be on your game. Thanks, Prethen.
