CopperCastle Pillar of the Community United States 1132 Posts	Posted 12/04/2014 2:50 pm There is a lot of detail there. I'd wager MS63-64. However, it appears to have been cleaned at some point. Edited by CopperCastle 12/04/2014 2:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
silverexile Valued Member United States 205 Posts	Posted 12/04/2014 2:56 pm These 4, of which the one here seems to be the better, stood out from all the rest as having good cartwheel lustre (luster?), which I had hoped meant to be not cleaned. They have all got the same toning or dirt as seen in the photo.. I was hoping this all led to genuine MS uncleaned.. but as always appreciate all comments... Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCollector2012 Pillar of the Community United States 8137 Posts	Posted 12/04/2014 3:18 pm The dark areas do have me concerned. They could be gunk that has accumulated on the coin's surface or it could just be toning. Until you can tell us for sure I will say MS-details. Report this Post to the Staff
coinlover168 Pillar of the Community United States 506 Posts	Posted 12/04/2014 5:14 pm MS 63. That "toning" or gunk is very unappealing to some people and may lower the value or grade. Report this Post to the Staff

silverexile Valued Member United States 205 Posts	Posted 12/04/2014 7:35 pm Well, that's actually a lot better than I expected... Unsure also if it is toning or gunk but I lean towards toning. It's also a bit lighter than the photos show.... Report this Post to the Staff
