[QUOTE="acan451, post: 1502501, member: 29769"]Hi Everyone I posted this coin when I won it, well it arrived today and I took my own pictures. This time I was able to get a pretty good picture and it shows a lot of detail not seen in the first. It is in a 2/2 flip and any marks you may see is from the plastic on the flip. I just can not believe how amazing this coin looks in hand, just looking at the coin you can see all the detail without a loupe. With a loup it blew me away, for a coin that is 119 years old, it looks like it was made for a proof set yesterday. What I find fascinating is where has this coin been for nearly a hundred and twenty years? I would like to get some help here grading this coin, I say MS 66, I have great respect in the grading skills of the members of this form and would like to hear what you have to say. I hope my pictures are good enough to help in your decision. Remember any marks you see are on the plastic cover, not the coin. I am sorry if I made the pictures a little on the big side, I am not very good at using the software. Thanks everyone. All the best Alan [img]http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i458/acan451/102_21561171x1175.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i458/acan451/102_21541180x1194-1.jpg[/img][/QUOTE]
