Although the coin has uite a bit of Gold/Red Mint Luster left, there is a lot of Brown toning some of which is bad due to the fingerprints and the environments in which it has resided over the years and would probably receive a BN (Brown) color designation next to the grade. I think that the best that you can hope for is a Net grade of MS-60/61 but if it does receive a grade around this, then that still makes the coin worth around $800 give or take $50 to $75 bucks either side depending how well the conservation turns out.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck...Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
