I would not normally buy a coin based on pics like these unless its A interesting VAM . ( Not My pics) Well I figured I would take a chance on this one . Its probably pretty hard to get a good feel based on the pictures , but what the heck the forum seems to be A little slow these days. I will admit I am scratching my head A little and bought it because I want to know why it graded the way it did. Plus I needed a 87S anyways. I will post the images and post the grade maybe tomorrow night and then try and get some other pics once she arrives. Have at her.     |

AU50 for me, perhaps 53 at the most. I would have bought it for the VAM anyway though. Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D. Brandeis |

I am at 58. I see a little circulation rub on breast and above ear. The fields may have a semi prooflike mirror finish.

Looks about MS60 but hard to tell really.

Looks like some minor obv clashing. Not familiar with '87S VAMs. I think the photos do this one an injustice. I'm guessing 62/63 and PL.

Anything above 58 will be a huge gift!

Ok soooo. I am excited to get this one and see what I am missing in the photo's. It is AU-58 Star with a Green Bean CAC sticker. Now I can see it at AU-58 and I think it looks decent in the photos but I am curious to see it in hand to see why the star designation and the Green Bean. There must be something that does not show in the seller pics or NGC'S pics ? What are we missing? I will try and post my own pics and thoughts once I have it in hand hopefully by next weekend.

From the photos I cannot fathom why the star was given but I'm sure we will find out when you get it in hand and we can see better photos at different angles.

How much did you pay for this coin?
It has good eye appeal, looks pl but no designation

Curious what in hand pics will reveal. Surprised it got the  and green bean based on the sellers pics. Maybe semi PL? |
