Yeah I know Mike. And when the coin has little or no luster left in the fields it can still be graded as AU :rolleyes: And of course the reason...
Let me show you something here. Here is the coin in question that has been graded MS62. [IMG] Here is another, same variety, same date, and...
There's more than you and I could ever count.
It's the same coin in both pics Duke.
Boy - where have I ever heard that before :whistle:
Sounds like a medal, not a coin.

Can you post a picture of the other side, it looks like an early coin counter. They work like a casino chip rack, you just place coins in it until...
Based on the pics, if it was me grading I'd have to say 53. There is just too much luster missing all over the coin, even the fields. But because...
I dunno, could go either way on this one. There might be a touch of rub on the forelock but it could be toning too. Either way I think the TPGs...
