rjkingston Pillar of the Community United States 642 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 7:39 pm Opinions on whether it's the angle of the lighting? Report this Post to the Staff
Hambone Pillar of the Community United States 609 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 7:46 pm It looks MS, but lacking luster. So dipped, cleaned or something; IMO Report this Post to the Staff

scotty11 Pillar of the Community United States 1042 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 7:50 pm the fields look almost "too clean" to me... I can't see a single hit on the coin. A larger pic of both the obverse and reverse will help if it's possible. Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 11:16 pm Soft, lack luster appearance. More than likely dipped. I agree AU Details. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
RollHunter Pillar of the Community United States 687 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 11:19 pm The fields above and below the motto and above the date, but it might just be compression artifacts that I'm seeing. Almost like someone tried to run a blur filter or smudge tool to clean it up. Just an impression I get though - I'm not expert. I assume the coin is not yours? Report this Post to the Staff
