This arrived today. I was pretty excited to get it, though a little disappointed with the cameo contrast (or lack thereof). But the fields are flashy and PL, as you can see in my meager attempts at capturing them with my iPad. I did not feel like pulling out the camera this time... Fingerprint on the reverse is on the slab. @ToughCOINS This is one of the ones I was saving for.
As much as I'd like to, I can't quite persuade myself to call this one MS64. We'll refer to it as 63+, or at least with a Star for the surfaces, and it'd probably take 64 money to own it.
Beautiful coin. I don't see any wear but I do see dings on "TRADE". I'll guess 62 as a compromise grade.
Wow. I certainly didn't see a cleaning. It's tough to determine through a pic and the slab. Great coin!!
You have to look at it in the right light or actually look for the hairlines to see them. They are there, and the coin is cleaned, but they are not distracting.
Where are you seeing them so I can look at the photos and better tell. On the reverse or those hairlines on the left of the left wing of the eagle in the open field or are they die polish lines? It might be an old cleaning that has retoned.
Great album type coin that may make it's way into a 61 holder someday assuming those flashy mirrors aren't overly hairlined
