This ^^^... and once again the words are pulled right from my mouth by SD... Or is it his thoughts subconsciously being put in my head? I'll have to go with the latter
I'm at a total loss based on the both photos. I'll just wait to see the grade before making a complete fool of myself. My first thoughts were AU. The first set of photos showed surface differences around all the high points, so I was thinking slight rub, AU 55-58. Then I read @SuperDave 's post causing me to rethink my grade. Then I saw the second photo of the obverse, still saw some slight surface differences on the high points, not a lot of luster and I'm more confused than ever. Since this is not my series and some highly respected members feel it's MS, I feel I must be wrong. I'm going to wait until Bill posts the grade.
I couldn't agree more. I didn't say anything at first to not spoil everyone's guesses but I couldn't have said it better myself
Out of town all weekend, my guess prior to the reveal was MS64. Great looking coin with superb strike.
