I think the coin has AU/MS details (i.e. a liner), and has been cleaned at worst and dipped at best(as mentioned above). All IMHO and...
Wow, talk about flashback! :D

You're such a tease! :)
Is that so high, or is the dollar just that low? Chart gold in Euros for an eye opening discovery. Silly people...Mike
