johnny676767 Pillar of the Community United States 521 Posts	Posted 10/18/2015 12:21 pm In addition to a grade I was wondering about the hairlines on the reverse (around the '2' and under 'cents'). I didn't originally notice them in hand or even under a 10x loupe. When I went to photograph the coin under my desk lamp, the hairlines popped out. Do you think it gets a details grade because of this? Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 10/18/2015 12:28 pm I don't think it is a details coin. Could be bag marks or contact marks given the coin is 150 years old. Solid uncirculated grade probably ms63. But I am no expert in this series. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 10/18/2015 12:29 pm I doubt it. They don't look distracting or easily visible, and as you said yourself you can't see them in hand - so neither can a grader.

CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 10/18/2015 5:41 pm First impression was MS61. This would definitely be a good coin to send off. Report this Post to the Staff
