    As promised in another thread, here’s the GTG. This beauty is one of the coins I recently added to my Bustie set:

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    That is a fantastic coin. I don't see any friction in the fields, but I see what I'd interpret as wear on her breasts and the curls above her ear.

    This is one that the old timers would grade AU (nowadays AU-58+) - but I could also see them forgive a bit of "cabinet friction" since there is no wear in the fields, and jump to MS-64.

    In the poll, I voted AU-58+ because that is how *I* would grade it based on the pictures. No idea what the slab says, lol.

    I'm going to guess they said AU-58+ (maybe I'm just being influenced by the latest Cabbage Coins podcast).

    Doesn't really matter what the number on the slab is though, it's a beautiful coin.

    Well… it matters when you’re the buyer, as the price goes a little bit up when the label says MS :-D

    Very nice! I see wear on the photos and went with AU 58 (the plus is likely deserved but is hard to earn, so I did not add that to my guess).
