<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 433421, member: 9474&quot;]I think we can all agree on that your coin is worn.&nbsp; A worn or circulated coin will have charcteristics that an unc wont.&nbsp; For instance, on a well circuated coin... I would say XF and lower, mint luster diminishes greatly.&nbsp; On your coins it goes from a shinny coin to a very dull coin. It just doesn&#039;t seem to move the light like a good unc would.&nbsp; I have seen some nice XF coins that still had traces of luster and those are unique coins to find.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Surpisingly, your coin is very smooth and I was not able to see any marks on it which is good.&nbsp; The wear appears to be very even and flat.... did you notice that.&nbsp; No one area has any greater wear than another.&nbsp; Which makes me wonder if this was maybe your granddads pocket piece?&nbsp; That was very common and still is..... that people will keep a special coin in a seperate pocket and touch it for luck or tradition or anything you can thing of.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Maybe some other members can make comments on what they are seeing.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I will try to do some research for you this weekend on thsi coin.&nbsp; I believe it was veru poorly struck coin and finding a nice example is the key.&nbsp; Hopefully others will chime in and give their expert opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
