mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2955 Posts	Posted 01/01/2023 11:10 am Really nice grade, probably 65 tops for me... Can't be a proof; those were only minted by Philadelphia and issued in sets. Also on the right wheat stalk, there looks to be a pre Cud die break going on... Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18668 Posts	Posted 01/02/2023 4:33 pm always take coins out of holders when possible as they create shadows and skew the surfaces. the coin could be as high as MS66, i'd like to see a better direct on photo of the obverse out of the holder as there looks like some smudging on the right field which would affect grade Report this Post to the Staff
