It just seems a bit bright and looks like it might have some hairlines. Oh and halos around the stars, let's not forget the halos! On the obverse what you are seeing is traces of luster hugging the edges of devices and on some of the stars. In some areas the luster has toned gold with splashes of other colors. The portrait has a layer of gun metal grey patina with splashes of gold luster in some of the crevices. The reverse had a rougher go of it. Probably facing down against paper in an album. Golden luster is more muted on this side but is noticeable in the crevices of the eagle, especially the eagle's lower half. Edited by MikeF 07/22/2018 9:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I have no problem with the grade and it is certainly acceptable, but those pictures don't depict a wholly original coin. I'm certainly willing to believe those pictures aren't accurate, but if they are a dark dirty side doesn't mean something is wholly original Report this Post to the Staff
