Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 12/26/2013 9:15 pm I'm tempted to say MS... but I'll have to go AU-55 (maybe a 58). The lady's dress is fading into her legs...it also looks like the rim of the guys hat is blending into the rest of the hat. Report this Post to the Staff

nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 12/26/2013 9:17 pm Hmm... in hand it is at least MS-63. I am going to blame these problems on the 2x2 plastic, because those details look different if I move the light and reflections around. I'll have to re-photograph it when it's liberated from the 2x2.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 12/26/2013 9:24 pm I am not surprised that you didn't want to take it out of the 2x2 (provided It has a Mylar clear window). It's just TOO good! Just make sure that the 2x2 goes into the pocket of a NON PVC album page. Quite often, especially in humid climates, a Mylar 2x2 will stick inside a PVC album page pocket, and cannot be removed. Use archival quality clear polyethylene or polypropylene album pages instead. They cost very little extra, but they are a little harder to obtain. Also, over a period of years, the plasticiser in soft clear PVC gasses out and can re condense and deposit itself on the coins. This can cause ugly toning. If you keep coins in Mylar 2x2's and NON pvc album pages, they will NEVER need slabbing to preserve them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Notice the fasces that Liberty is holding? Reminds me of the Mercury dime. I wonder if FSB should be considered when grading these coins? I think the the fading of the dress into the legs may be a bit of a weak strike in that area. The tiny nicks that appear in the fields may be in the Mylar. If that is the case, MS66! Edited by sel_69l 12/26/2013 9:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
