villagekid Valued Member United States 179 Posts	Posted 05/26/2020 8:30 pm This is another coin from a private collection that my wife and I are looking to buy or purchase. The coin (appears to us) looks to have a decent natural toning with an above average strike. We believe we can buy this possibly in the AU range but maybe it qualifies as MS? Any views or comments to the overall presentation and grade of this coin is greatly appreciated. Thank You! Edited by villagekid 05/26/2020 9:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff

suipakpaikungfu Pillar of the Community United States 992 Posts	Posted 05/26/2020 9:07 pm I may be in the minority, but I'd say MS 61-62. If you can get it at cheap AU money, I'd buy it. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/26/2020 9:16 pm Very attractive original coin. I'm at AU-58, but a 62 grade would not surprise me. Edited by Coinfrog 05/26/2020 9:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Steelers72 Pillar of the Community United States 1448 Posts	Posted 05/27/2020 11:29 am MS62 if it straight grades, in my opinion. I have a coin with similar scratches that came back details recently. Report this Post to the Staff
