Like I Said in a prior post. It came from an old collection, so that's just what I have in it.

I see obvious wear on the ridges in the star, so there is no way this could grade MS. How is the luster?

 

It doesn't look like wear in hand, just breaks in toning. luster is great in hand

 

aka, "Fish scale"?

 

Usually those toning breaks signify wear. Also, those lines should be sharp, not rounded like they are on your coin.

I'm not trying to belittle your coin. It is far better than my nonexistent specimen.

 

Yes of course Rock Fish scale

 

It's a effect type coin example. Great pickup.
