The flatness of the 186 is normal for this type and year. Look at the Cherrypicker&#039;s guide. You see it ALL of the time.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>STRIKE not wear. Look at how much detail is visible on the reverse. That is not indicative of a VF-level coin, but an AU-level coin. There is also tons of cartwheel luster. Bill Fivaz confirmed this in-hand. He also said it was completely problem-free and original. He also said that the negative eye appeal due to the poor strike would bring this coin down to an EF-45 market grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
