dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 12/19/2013 12:16 pm Quote: It does look mint state it does currently reside in the original packaging with the rest of that years mm coins so its not been circulated, only handled in some shape or form in the past 55 years it is ugly on the obverse but it could make a high grade if the graders find it just mottled over a perfectly preserved surface, no? I always wonder why some coins make 67 and they're mainly toned to some extent. What's "perfect"? and its worth the thought in my mind because I paid a whopping $103 for the entire set and if enough make MS65 + can pay for the price of admission and then some even with slab premium. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1958-mint-s...p=true&rt=nc Report this Post to the Staff
