stratocaster Valued Member United Kingdom 240 Posts	Posted 10/27/2019 4:06 pm Deep toning only on the obverse, hard to capture it in a picture - it looks appealing to me in hand. And a diagonal band on the reverse, looks like it was taped (?) How would you grade it? Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 10/27/2019 8:47 pm There may? be some tiny nicks and hairline scratces hiding under the patina, but I can't see any in the pictures. If none, then MS65. Report this Post to the Staff
stratocaster Valued Member United Kingdom 240 Posts	Posted 10/29/2019 6:46 pm Thanks guys! On the obverse the patina is slightly flat around the sideburn, just left of the chin, so I was wondering if you see this as wear or just part of the patina. But this was a good find anyway, I snatched it from a silver crowns junk box in a flip. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 10/30/2019 10:26 am Patina is slightly thinned on the obverse, but the reverse in this case does not seem to show any of this. Compare high points on both sides with a critical eye. Some prefer coins with a nice patina, but with MS++ coins, I prefer silver in blast white, where the luster can be fully appreciated. Luster is undisturbed on high points with such coins. That is never a problem with gold coins. Report this Post to the Staff
stratocaster Valued Member United Kingdom 240 Posts	Posted 10/30/2019 7:38 pm Thank you for the thoughts, sel_69l! I sometimes find very high grade coins with thick tone/patina in bargain bins or significantly underpriced. I wonder if the dealer oversees them because of the dark tone or they consider them so undesirable that they knock the price down. Personally I think in the right lighting toned coins look absolutely fabulous. But it's a matter of taste of course. Most likely they are a harder sell though Report this Post to the Staff
