westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 07/23/2023 3:37 pm I think this one is an N12 I'd say it's so close to MS and a TPG on a good day for you might even call it MS but AU it is for me.

Blastenpene4 Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 07/23/2023 5:32 pm Definitely an N12. I'm a bit surprised at the AU calls on this. I'm not seeing wear. Educate me on what I'm not seeing and thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 07/23/2023 9:01 pm As to why I think it's a high AU and not MS? discoloration and the areas around the stars. It just looks to me like very light either circulation or mishandling, enough to make it no longer a technically "mint state" coin. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18640 Posts	Posted 07/24/2023 07:59 am i have serious doubts this coin was circulated. mishandling the coin does not imo exclude the coin from an MS grade. I've seen many MS65 ones that look worse than this. heres just one example that graded MS65BN. I'm going with MS64RB . if it is AU then AU58 and undoubtedly worthy of a bean Report this Post to the Staff
Blastenpene4 Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 07/24/2023 09:29 am Guess we'll see. Pulled the trigger on it late last night after seller accepted my offer. Report this Post to the Staff
Blastenpene4 Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 07/30/2023 10:36 am Coin arrived yesterday. Pictures in hand. Comments and grade? Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18640 Posts	Posted 07/30/2023 10:45 am your new photos are much better to grade from. the 2nd obv photo is showing signs of circulation. the chin and neck specifically as well as some scuffing on the right field. I'm changing my grade to a really nice AU58 Report this Post to the Staff
