Knowing the assigned grade though, I assumed there was another reason for it and expected muted luster/dull surfaces at the very least.</p><p><br /></p><p>When she arrived, I saw that wasn’t the case... the luster was fantastic, easily on par with my recently acquired 1902 1C in MS65. The color was more vibrant and even better than I expected as well. However, there are a few hairlines in the left obverse field, one in particular from Liberty’s chin to the D in UNITED. They are barely visible in photographs (I didn’t see them anyway, perhaps some of you did), but I suspect that is the main cause of the 63 grade on an otherwise stunning piece. She’s definitely here to stay!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]926988[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]926989[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to post an American Civil War era coin (1861-1865) if you’ve got ‘em and stay tuned for more historical GTG’s! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie77" alt=":pompous:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie26" alt=":bookworm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
