Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/14/2019 11:16 am At best, I'd say this coin has been mishandled if it didn't actually circulate for a short period. AU-58. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/14/2019 10:18 pm Specimen or not, this coin shows evidence of mishandling at best. AU-58. Report this Post to the Staff

Tlutz Valued Member Canada 56 Posts	Posted 03/15/2019 12:59 pm Ms-60, too me doesn't look like a specimen. A specimen would have sharper detail and rims. Report this Post to the Staff
Talonbat Valued Member Canada 395 Posts	Posted 03/15/2019 8:59 pm 100% agreement with Tlutz on not a specimen, the strike is very poor compared to a specimen. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/15/2019 9:27 pm "Mishandling" just means that it may well be uncirculated but was not carefully handled by the rim before it finally found a holder. Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 03/16/2019 6:30 pm Most definitely NOT a specimen strike. This coin was not mishandled, what you are seeing are elements of a weak strike (weak hair detail, weak upper check and neckline).
