panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18633 Posts	Posted 10/10/2021 09:17 am looks like the coin was circulated albeit for a short time due to the minor wear on the highest points of the devices especially the obverse. weakness in strike both sides which is typical.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/10/2021 09:39 am Certainly no less than 58, but I lean toward MS-63. Edited by Coinfrog 10/10/2021 09:40 am Report this Post to the Staff

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3622 Posts	Posted 10/10/2021 12:53 pm Nice looking example. The obverse shows very light apparent wear, but the reverse does not. My hunch is that the obverse is really just showing light cabinet rub. Weaker central strike than peripheral strike, which is typical. Nice fields, and very few contact marks. I think it makes MS-64.

HappyHippo Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 10/10/2021 3:20 pm That is a nice specimen. Isn't that crazy you can't even read LIBERTY when everything else looks good? Common for these to have weak strikes. MS 63 Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18633 Posts	Posted 10/11/2021 08:29 am spent a little more time looking at this one and I think FC is correct about the cabinet rub but I'm at MS63 due to broken luster, eye appeal. Report this Post to the Staff
