kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 08/19/2018 09:29 am It's got enough value if the surfaces are original to submit it to a TPG. I'm uncomfortable with the lack of any obvious toning. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15392 Posts	Posted 08/19/2018 5:16 pm Truly unusual looking surfaces - very grainy looking which I agree could be your photograph - but also apparently lacking the original blazing luster or subsequent toning these are know for. Details suggest an authentic MS range coin ... fields are generally clean although the prime focal point of the obverse portrait cheek has taken some significant hits - which will hold the coin back in grade. Assuming the surface 'issues' are attributed to the OP photography - then I'm in at MS63. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

The marks will probably knock it down into the upper AU range. Whether it gets the dreaded "details" label depend upon what the graders think is the cause of those marks, bag or handling.
