[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 8463217, member: 105571"]The various responses are interesting since they do vary somewhat but one theme does unite them: No one presents a full-throated and unqualified defense of the MS-64 grade. I agree with [USER=4920]@eddiespin[/USER] that the coin is pretty clean of nicks and dings. I also agree that this coin would not slide from AU-58 to a 60 or 62. It's too clean for that.
