I feel much more amiable now towards U.S coin grading.
MS-60 is what I believe it to be. But I think that grade has gone extinct. So I'll guess MS-61.
I didn't know they were still around. I've never heard anything good or bad about them.

Perfect date.

The moose looks like he's making a delivery. :p
