johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 03/12/2014 9:02 pm I don't expect many people to guess this one right...as I am terrible at photographing these type of tiny coins, and accurately getting the luster and surface quality. Anyways, it is loaded with original crust, and mottled toning, with some luster beneath. Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 03/13/2014 04:10 am That's a nice coin John! I see lots of original luster under the crustiness :-) Hammer reverse strike! Obverse slightly weak but commensurate with grade. I'm also at AU55 swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 03/14/2014 12:50 pm NGC graded this MS-62. From the pictures, I would have guessed AU as well....as it is difficult to see the luster, and weak strike issues are easily viewed as wear. There is some mint luster on the devices, which is why I think NGC went to a MS grade on this....but it certainly isn't a strong 62. Report this Post to the Staff
