nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15411 Posts	Posted 05/24/2015 1:13 pm This is a very difficult coin to grade ... MS examples look circulated due to the nature of the design. You need to tell us if there any breaks in the mint luster indication circulation rub - otherwise I do not see many marks to indicate anything other than higher MS ... say 64 or 65. Lovely coin - Thanks for sharing. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
Willem2904 New Member Norway 44 Posts	Posted 05/24/2015 2:10 pm I just bought the coin from a local coin dealer, so I haven't seen it in "real life" yet. I paid $75. Looks like a nice coin. Will post some pictures in a couple of days when it arrives :-) Report this Post to the Staff
commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12265 Posts	Posted 05/24/2015 10:45 pm The images are a bit "bright" which can hide details that help assess the coin's grade. For now, I'd suggest a grade anywhere from AU-55 to MS-63. I look forward to seeing your images when you have the coin in hand. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 05/25/2015 8:56 pm The lighting needs to be at a much shallower angle to be able to grade this one accurately. It is difficult to see if this one has any wear. Can't see any mint luster with these pictures. So far, some sort of AU grade, but could go much higher. Report this Post to the Staff
