eaglebub7 Valued Member United States 378 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 2:41 pm Been off and on with my commemorative issues. Happens to be in on mode now. Has a bit of funky streaked toning which isn't to bad in hand. What do y'all think this might grade? Thanks for looking. spelling error Edited by eaglebub7 04/02/2023 3:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff

eaglebub7 Valued Member United States 378 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 3:11 pm Part of that funky toning mentioned. No idea why with would look stringy like that. Report this Post to the Staff

wallyb Pillar of the Community Canada 557 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 5:00 pm Agree with the MS63, but I do find that weird stuff a little distracting to the eye. Report this Post to the Staff
Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5603 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 5:42 pm Love the 1930's Classics..... The Classic Designs, The High Details, Exquisite Artwork, The designer's initials , IF present are Hard to see, compared to The COMMEMORATIVES of Today... The Obverse shows Nicks and a Creepy Crawling , It's Alive Kinda Growth.... I see the Reverse is Awesome and in Sweeter condition, No visible nicks. I Love the Twin Fasces, the Design is Classic in Every Way. Grading is going to be Subjective According to the degree of the Possible damaging affects from the ?. IF any. I believe these Commems are Under Graded for their condition, I will say, IF graded MS-63,64. Maybe the strike was Weak, worn dies, the Obverse has weak Hair strikes and Facial Details, Worn? Thanks for Sharing. I Too have taken leave from My COMMEMORATIVE Collecting Treasures..... Report this Post to the Staff
commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12253 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 9:21 pm From the images... The obverse has several hits/divots that will limit the grade and the reverse has several visible marks as well. It's hard for me to tell from the images provided - Does the coin have good luster? Regarding the dark "toning," my eye see the coloring more as surface staining than natural toning. The patterns of the coloring do not appear to be natural.

eaglebub7 Valued Member United States 378 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 10:15 pm The coin does have good luster, though I would not say it was not full. Honestly, if I were to put a number on it, not greater than 75% remains. If not natural, I wonder what it could be from? Thank, commems! Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15389 Posts	Posted 04/03/2023 04:51 am The images provided do not show original luster well. To my eye the toning is very distracting. That said - even at this level of magnification the coin is generally clean of hits. I offer a grade opinion as Mid-MS but not gem.
