Congrats on the upgrade!
I hope you are right, but it has the appearance of being conserved already and I wonder if the spots have eaten into the luster. However, Matt,...
I would grade it 62 or 61, with the limiting factor being the rim ding. If the rim ding is really the plastic of the 2x2 distorting the edge,...

LDS luster for 7, Alex.
The mark on the lower obverse seems to limit grade. 62 seems a bit low, but I can see it. This is a tough series to grade in MS -- one of the...
