[QUOTE="yarm, post: 806846, member: 5795"][b]Puzzled[/b] I'm still on my first coffee but couldn't help be puzzled by a couple of HiHo's tokens. From the earlier images of Middlesex 414, I would have expected a higher grade than 63 (but images can conceal a lot). After looking at hundreds of Goldberg conders in grades 64 and up which often looked no better than this token, I'd be interested in what there is about the token in hand that merits the grade. Hairlines, minor rim bump, what? And it would be nice if the slab said Midd 414! On the Portsea, I might speculate that the bright spot in the center of the reverse was scoured down to remove a spot or hit. I like the design and token nevertheless.
