BadToTheBone Pillar of the Community United States 1795 Posts	Posted 01/05/2014 5:17 pm Appears to be some milk spots and marks on the obverse...does seem to have plenty of Luster also some nicks as well on the reverse. I would venture to say at least a MS63. Report this Post to the Staff

rupester Pillar of the Community United States 1300 Posts	Posted 01/22/2014 12:02 pm I agree ms62-63 wish the focus was just a tad better as previously noted the milk spots are distracting but has nice mint state luster hard to check for variety images in the picture. Report this Post to the Staff
rupester Pillar of the Community United States 1300 Posts	Posted 01/23/2014 5:49 pm Just yesterday I read a article on those milk spots and the cause. It was quite a shocker how it has happened. Reading a book called volume 2 a guidebook to franklin and kennedy coins. In this book the author theorizes that as the proofs were being struck a mint worker gave them a dip in a ivory soap bath and then towel dried the coins and believes that occasionally a coin would have some soap on the planchet and when it struck it the soap became a part of the coin. In my opinion this is the most sound theory as to why this happens! Fun side note Report this Post to the Staff
