GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 07/07/2015 06:10 am Can you please help me grade this WLH. I do OK with bust coinage, but much less so with modern issues. How would you grade this? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 07/07/2015 09:34 am Yeah, either over dipped, or needs acetone to remove haze. No expert on these either, but I say MS63 Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/07/2015 11:18 am Slider AU, haze from long dip. Report this Post to the Staff
GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 07/07/2015 12:43 pm Thank you for the opinions - I guess this is not an MS coin then. it hardly seems to have any wear in-hand, and the luster is more vibrant, but I have no experience with WLHs. I do like the design of the WLH though, very pretty. Edited by GERMANICVS 07/07/2015 12:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/07/2015 2:57 pm Yes, sort of lifeless. Dipped-out is a good theory. I'll say 58. Report this Post to the Staff
