The coin was last sold at public auction in November 1988 in Bowers and Merena's auction of the Norweb Collection. The silver dollar is now graded Mint State 64 by Professional Coin Grading Service. It shares some of its history and pedigree with another, even higher grade example sold in recent years. Read the Entire Article Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7618 Posts	Posted 05/09/2017 11:46 pm I send it in I get "Unc Details - Environmental Damage" due the carbon spotting. Big auction house sends it in and gets "MS64" Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/10/2017 12:12 pm I saw this coin at the Central States show and it did not show those carbon spots. Probably a result of the photography and lighting making them look much worse than they really are. The coin also has die clashing and a pin scratch in the obverse field from the neck up past Liberty's chin. Those DON't show in this image. Report this Post to the Staff
