commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12258 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 1:36 pm Difficult for me to accurately determine a grade from the images. A grade anywhere in the range of AU to MS-63 wouldn't surprise me. Would it be possible for you to provide images of the coin outside of the 2x2 so that we don't have to look through the mylar?

If the luster is what you say it is (not to sound disbelieving but the luster I see might be the flash on the plastic) I would say a solid ms 63 maybe a 64. Still a beatific coin!!

Perhaps AU ... perhaps MS Remove the coin from the plastic ... retake the photos ... then we can help. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 03/23/2015 11:13 pm I think there is a tiny ampunt of wear on this piece, but nearly none. Needs closer examination with a 10X loupe for me to confirm this. A few nicks consistent with MS61 or 2, but with the wear, AU58. Report this Post to the Staff
