Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6460 Posts	Posted 05/23/2025 5:27 pm The indirect sunlight photos accurately represent the color and appearance in-hand. Plenty of luster and soft silver cartwheel. The axial photos show the details better, though. MS or AU? As to why grade is relevant for this common date coin: Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73698 Posts	Posted 05/23/2025 8:38 pm I'll guess high AU, possibly MS-63. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 05/23/2025 8:59 pm Not the sharpest strike, die wear evident. Net easy to see if luster disturbance caused by wear on the high points is evident. I will guesstimate AU-58. Report this Post to the Staff
Buffalo soldat Valued Member New Zealand 188 Posts	Posted 05/23/2025 9:09 pm The bands are not terribly clearly defined in the middle. I agree with high AU. Nice RPM. Do not read this sentence. Edited by Buffalo soldat 05/24/2025 01:05 am Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18640 Posts	Posted 05/24/2025 2:51 pm the photos and lighting are not sufficient to make a call on the luster which would be key to bringing it over the line into the MS box even though you comment on the luster we cant see it. AU58 unless you can get better shots Report this Post to the Staff
