<p>[QUOTE="Kevinfred, post: 2048988, member: 26201"]I was at the LCS the other day and my buddy handed me a Peace dollar to check out. It was so off the cuff as I didn't have my reading glasses on, nor did I have my loupe out yet. I proceeded to rotate it around and it was full of luster, my assumption was a mid-MS grade coin. Anyway, after getting out my vision tools it was clear this coin was an XF at best! What shocked me so much was the luster - even with the tools - looked like a high MS coin!!! -- a super distinct cartwheel. I was so floored I bought it for a few bucks over spot... what the heck right? Are these cheaters/whizzers/buffers etc. etc. getting THAT good?!? I wish you all could see this coin in hand. It's soooo weird...</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for listening, I thought it was an interesting experience... it was a 28-S for the record...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
