Somebody paid way too much for that ebay coin. That is MS65 money and that coin is no where near MS65.
Fair enough Toad - I agree about the date. Never thought about turning the coin upside down :mad: That said, it is still the same coin I said it...

There's lots - just check my profile and click on an album ;)
My worst blunder - not sure if it was my first or second - wife :D

Steve - what's the first rule of coin collecting ? Never touch the surface of the coin. Cotton gloves or bare fingers, one way or the other you...
