OK, lets rein it in a little. Any comments on the coins is Ok , as long as it doesn't violate the other forum rules, but not on the Members !...
I see it as an AU-55 to AU-58. A person has to really have it in hand and twirl it a little to see any rub or luster breaks so a MS grade...

Similar question, should music go back to the vinyl standard? Many things are better theoretically, such as real photographic film, but it is...
At Least Bowers and group did say 'combined ' 1250 years of experience. Detecto quoted the whole letter, and then when he brought up one portion...

It is not a proof. Proofs aren't just the degree of how shiny, but of a different process, including strong images, squared rims/edges, and...
The size and weight ( allowing for the wear) seems incompatible with US coinage through the half-cent, large cent, and 2-cent piece as given. I...
The fact that it wiped off so easily indicates it isn't any reactions with the metal itself, so a surface deposit prompts the question as to more...
The cent also appears to me to be more likely a large date than a small date.
