[QUOTE="Paul M., post: 2154267, member: 73165"]I'm almost hesitant to post, as I don't even really trust myself to say whether this coin is real or not. Not that I think it's fake, it's just that I haven't devoted the amount of study it would take to tell if it's real or not. Here are my impressions of the coin: [LIST] [*]I see things that "could" be casting bubbles (for instance, check out the E in TRADE), but it's impossible for me to say yes or no from the pictures. [*]The detail looks razor sharp. In fact, that actually bothers me a little -- it looks [I]too[/I] sharp to me. [*]Are those hairlines? Die polish marks? Something else? Does it cartwheel properly or is it highly reflective? [/LIST] That said, if it's real, the detail certainly puts it in the high AU category, if not MS. If it's die polish I'm looking at, then I'd say MS65 and probably PL, based solely on the quantity of die polish in the fields. If it's hairlines, probably UNC details, cleaned. I'm so confused. :)[/QUOTE]
