    64 IMO. Might be a proof like. Very nice. It has very nice luster. If you don't mind me asking how much did you pay?

    Its Ebay item#320088809189 if anyone wants to see the actual auction page. I wish I knew how to post the link with just the item # or with the word "here" like Ive seen before.

    This one is a tough one for me.....its either a 58 or a 64. There doesn't seem to be an over abundance of contact marks (in line with a 64), but I cannot tell if the change in color above the ear is a luster break associated with a touch of wear or if it just has to do with the lighting in the picture.

    Im sure Im seeing a little wear right above the ear. It seems like thats the very first place that shows wear. Thanks for the opinions. My eyes arent what they used to be either and I have a feeling I left my glasses in California last September.

    A tip for you. You know the heart on the top of the page of the auction, click on it and drag it down to your post. Hope this helps. If you want, you can pm me the auction and I can post it for you.

    There is another way. When you are typing a post on CT there are 7 icons above the dialogue box you are typing into. The one at the far left ( a blue ball with 2 links of chain under it ) will allow you to insert any link you wish. Copy the url of the link you wish to insert, click on the icon when posting, and paste it into the window the icon opens when you click on it. Then click on OK. This will place the code for the link into your post.

    Immediately after doing that, you will see the url within your text, but it will be there twice and one of the lines of text will be highlighted. And if you begin typing right away that highlighted text will change into whatever you type, such as - Click Here - or - HERE - whatever you type will be inserted as the link that we will all see when we read the post.

    It sounds complicated when written out like this, but it's really quite easy to do.

    I would either grade this a ms-64, or perhaps damaged. It looks like there may be a faint, but sizeable scratch in the left obverse field.

    I know my eyes are getting old, but I see no icons above the "dialogue box" (the one titled message:?). If I go to "go advanced" or "new thread", there are 14 icon below, but still none above.

    The problem is in your choice of settings. Go to - User CP - at the top of any page and click on it. On that page, over ont he left click on - Edit Options. When that page opens scroll all the way to the bottom to where it says - Miscellaneous Options. Then at the bottom of that small box where it says - Message Editor Interface - you will see a drop down arrow with 3 choices. You want to click on the middle one that says -
    Standard Editor - Extra Formatting Controls

    Once you have that, click on Save Changes. Then you will see and be able to use the formatting icons.
