I am a little early for the customary 48 hours, but Phil's imagery shows this coin in a much better light;

I protest with the new pics!! They should have been shown from the get-go and shouldn't count against chesterb' stellar grading record! It does however show the flaw in trying to grade based on images. You really need to see a coin in hand to accurately grade it.

BTW...who's this Phil character? I need him to take pics of my coins
