I made two sets / differnt lignting conditions. What do you say? German grade would be a VZ+ I think. Report this Post to the Staff

HP2001PH Valued Member Germany 312 Posts	Posted 09/11/2022 2:55 pm Can you say why? I bought it as MS (STGL) and I do not see any wear. Its also very low on contact marks and has nice luster. I prsonally would have graded it MS65 or even higher. Critical point is the flower closest to Ceres' brow in my experience & this feature is fully detailed here.

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36738 Posts	Posted 09/12/2022 1:40 pm I think the photos of the coin in the holder are what is making the luster dull and giving it a circulated look. Can you remove it and post new photos? Report this Post to the Staff
