It wasn't easy to pictured but this pic is pretty accurate to the look of the coin by naked eye. And I would also like to know your opinions about approximate grade? There is practically no hit at all to both sides of the coin, even hard to find hits under a 5x glass. Although a very minor one on the jaw. There is a very nice luster overall but it seems to totally extinguish when lights are out of the room. "In a sense" This kinda dark frosting and these odd spots on the observe's field that I would like to know about? Is it natural effect and doe's it affect the grade?
