ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19249 Posts	Posted 01/05/2020 6:20 pm The coin may have been well cared for so I'm not convinced it was dipped--given the photos anyway. An in-hand examination would be fun. I'm thinking a strong MS66. Nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36903 Posts	Posted 01/05/2020 6:46 pm Those were the sellers photos. Usually when they are bright white like that, the photo lighting is normally done using an LED daylight bulb. I'm thinking that was the case on this one. Incandescent soft white bulbs tend to make things look more yellow. Doesn't matter, someone else won the bid on it. It sold for $31. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18717 Posts	Posted 01/06/2020 09:06 am MS66 FSB. look like a couple blemishes on the reverse and the obverse strike is less than stellar which will hold it back from a 67 Edited by panzaldi 01/06/2020 11:17 am Report this Post to the Staff
hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7293 Posts	Posted 01/06/2020 09:40 am I'm going to say ms 65/66 full bands. I have one that is ms 65 graded and it looks like this one. At the high ms graded it's hard to tell just from a photo. My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff
