In all honesty I could not grade that coin higher than 64RD. Too many hits for anything higher.
You may want to rethink your opinion on that.
It was struck in .500 silver, mintage of 419,000. Krause list it at $18 XF and $45 unc. That one is XF.

Kinda looks like the coin was once coated with shellac, maybe fingernail polish. It will probably take acetone to get it off. But that in itself...
Take it to PM's guys ;)
The coin has AU details, yes it looks like it has been cleaned with a pencil eraser. Would place value at about $3k. So what slab is this in ?
Gorgeous ! have always loved that reverse :thumb:
Typo I assume, for the sake of accuracy the product is MS70. I would also assume that is why the coin went so cheaply.
