dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 01/07/2022 09:27 am I like this one at MS. The photos are not showing the reflective surfaces. I'll try to post up different lighted shots if requested. Little die crack running along the top of the motif Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 01/07/2022 7:20 pm Surfaces are +/- but if it's lustrous MS63 is ok with me. Compare the stars on the reverse of this example with your other recent Shield nickel posting. It's interesting how you can see so much variation in strike quality within a relatively close sharpness grade range (AU-MS.)
