thecoinczar Valued Member United States 455 Posts	Posted 03/11/2011 2:40 pm Well the coin appears to be very weakly struck, but I do believe it to be in mint state. The problem that I have with it is that there is no luster at all and it appears very dull. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 03/12/2011 1:11 pm I too think that is wear on that coin. Although that may be MS-62 in the eyes of the seller he may be basing that on a 100 point system. I just don't think it's really MS-62 or a weak strike. Report this Post to the Staff
Ca Dreamin Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 03/13/2011 1:07 pm I think its mint state, but weakly struck with no eye appeal-if you're looking for a type coin, the price is ok=if you're looking to put together a set, I'd pass. This is a common date, and as the first year of issue, many were saved. You would have no problem finding a better one. Report this Post to the Staff
eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 03/13/2011 3:44 pm Those were struck-up pretty weak. Beyond that, hard to distinguish that from wear, off those pics. Here's a link to one at NGC MS-62 on Heritage, right now, you might wish to compare to: http://coins.ha.com/common/view_ite...18021#Photo. Report this Post to the Staff
basicbob101 Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 03/15/2011 1:50 pm Thanksz for the info, the one on Heritage does appear much better. The one in the link has a better back than the front so I think I am going to pass since I am undecided. Thanksz again. Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 03/15/2011 2:04 pm I would say AU-55 or so. Would be hesitant to pay MS-62 money for that coin. Report this Post to the Staff

SPQR Valued Member United States 327 Posts	Posted 03/18/2011 5:02 pm I'm wobbling between AU58 or MS60...that's the highest I'd go for that. Honestly, it's not a great coin, it's a crappy strike and it's got that "stored in an old paper coin envelope" haze. Report this Post to the Staff
