Halfwitty Pillar of the Community United States 1523 Posts	Posted 04/26/2010 1:01 pm I would say MS-64+ as far as details go but I would be concerned as to how and why it is toned that way.Could be that it was in an album for many years or could be an attempt to cover a past polish or cleaning although I don't see any hints to that.I would say it is certainly worth sending but would send it to ANACS just in case.If it has been screwed with they will grade it.JMO.

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/26/2010 1:14 pm I tend to agree with the cautious attitude about the originality of the toning. Keep in mind, even at MS64 this is only a $100 coin. More importantly, this is a huge Conditional Rarity above MS64 - the graded Census at MS65 is only 1% of that at 64, PCGS/NGC have only bestowed MS65 on ~600 of over 21,000 graded with only 5 above that - and you can expect the TPG's to cast a pretty critical eye on it. My guess? Possibly Uncirculated details, but retoning poorly after a dip. Even if considered Original Surfaces, I'm not sure there's bang for buck in submitting it. Report this Post to the Staff
murty Pillar of the Community United States 1353 Posts	Posted 04/26/2010 2:11 pm I have had this coin in a flip since the early 70's. I got it from a friend who had it in the same flip from the early 60's.I don't believe he would have cleaned it.The toning on the Obverse of the actual coin in hand is a somewhat lighter gold tone.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 04/26/2010 2:24 pm I agree with the grade of MS-64, the gold toning doesn't concern me as much as the blue. It almost looks like some kind of residue, with raised chalk like appearance. Report this Post to the Staff
