    I was out and about today traveling for work, when, lo and behold, a coin shop appeareth out of thin air. Well, lunch was had nearby, so while the others were conversing I excused myself and meandered over to the store to see what was happening. It was a typical store with a lot of the same average circ merchandise you see around, but there was a beautiful San Diego Commemorative sitting in the display case surrounded by Booker Tees, Carvers, and a plethora of Columbians. I asked the fella behind the counter about it, and he said, "It's been here for a bit, and none of the commemoratives are moving right now, so I could probably let it go for $80" Needless to say, I whipped out the cash and made the deal then and there. So whadda ya think? I think MS-60 or AU-58, but I don't seem to see any rubs on it.

    Looks in real nice shape. I'm thinking there is a little toning on the obverse?
