<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 57611, member: 1892&quot;]There&#039;s a little spot on the obverse - that &quot;J&quot; shaped mark in front of the neck - which shows there&#039;s luster under whatever is on the rest. I&#039;m dying to find out if I can expose the rest.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for grading, there&#039;s a surprising number of high-quality images in the Internet of slabbed coins. Between Google and the PCGS Set Registry, I can generally find enough reference to augment my limited experience with deciding between AU and MS, except for the New Orleans strikes. This coin shows more detail than many images I&#039;ve found of PCGS and NGC MS-level slabs of &#039;79Ss. If it&#039;s circulated, it was a great strike to begin with.</p><p><br /></p><p>Methinks this will be my testbed for, um, processes which shouldn&#039;t be discussed publicly. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
