<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gawdroxx, post: 1210057, member: 31766&quot;]Interesting. I have an 1857 with great luster. At first glance, the reverse looks worn but a closer look reveals what I was thinking of as a weak strike. Eventually I will post a pic when I figure this forum out a little better. The coin is pitted on top of the obverse over the words &#039;states of&#039;. I guess that would be a planchet defection? Either way the luster does appear to be mint luster and not man made. Overall it is a very nice coin that I would like to get graded. Thanks for you input.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
