shatsi Pillar of the Community United States 1541 Posts	Posted 06/06/2006 12:03 am This is my latest buy. I know the pictures are too bright but I can't seem to adjust it. I have also attached a picture that was taken by the QX5 at 10x. Hope it'll help. It has a nice luster. Thank you.

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 06/06/2006 03:36 am Hi Shatsi The coin shows a little bit of weakness in the strike, I dont see any hits or signs of rub on the coin, the weakness in the strike for the later years on these coins is not to the benefit of the coin, but I still think the coin is a strong 63,, perhaps 64 .

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 06/06/2006 1:28 pm Hi Shatsi The areas that appear weak to me are the hair and braid on the obverse , and the hump and front leg on the reverse,, the center high points of the coin,, this is often the areas that do not completely strike up and get full detail if the coin is weakly struck, they are also some of the first areas to show wear and rub, which I dont see on the coin. They may look better in hand than in the photo's !! But this is what I see in the pic's. Rick Report this Post to the Staff
