<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 1280418, member: 13307&quot;]BTW thanks for everyone who&#039;s ventured a guess on the grade of this coin.&nbsp; My opinion:</p><p><br /></p><p>I love this coin.&nbsp; I&#039;ve wanted one for quite some time now, and I have what I consider to be an attractive AU coin.&nbsp; I&#039;d probably go towards the higher end...either 55 or 58...because I can CLEARLY see in hand what looks to be slight wear on the high points of the coin.&nbsp; It&#039;s not much...but it&#039;s there.&nbsp; The coin shop&#039;s opinion was that it was probably a mushy strike...</p><p><br /></p><p>...but they had it graded as MS63.&nbsp; Now, this coin shop is notorious (IMO) for over-grading and over-pricing their coins.&nbsp; (It&#039;s not just me, though...other coin shops get that &quot;Oh, you didn&#039;t go THERE?&quot; look on their faces when you mention it.)&nbsp; They&#039;ve also been quite rude to me in the past - which is why I seldom go in there.&nbsp; Sadly, it&#039;s owned by a former ANA president...</p><p><br /></p><p>I voiced my concern over the wear on the high points...and was able to talk the price down to AU50 money.&nbsp; (I also got a 1927D SLQ in VG/F out of their junk silver bin and a 1939 Jefferson DDR in F for another $25.)&nbsp; So I think I&#039;ll count today as a win for me![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
