<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Larry Moran, post: 542383, member: 4580&quot;]Here&#039;s a raw, yet original coin, finely struck, now in AU condition; I&#039;d guess AU-55.&nbsp; It&#039;s worth much more to my collection than a weakly struck MS-65.</p><p><br /></p><p>It has great eye appeal, its luster is still amazing with toned patina developing. It has not been abused nor cleaned, ever;&nbsp; I can see that.&nbsp; Every mark seems minor and natural, the single spot at 7:00 on the obverse bothers me little, and there is a small bag mark and an even smaller one in the feathers of the eagle. But check out the talons, for example.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you agree.&nbsp; It arrived today and fills a hole that has been waiting a&nbsp; long time. I have been very patient on this issue, this time around.&nbsp; This AU-55 example cost $24.50 plus $2 shipping.&nbsp; I entered a much higher bid but got lucky. Seller&#039;s photos were adequate but didn&#039;t show what I see now.&nbsp; My lighting may have accentuated the toning a bit.&nbsp; : )</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g254/Larrymo123/PeaceDollar1024.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><i>NOTE:&nbsp; If you have a high-res monitor you can this image, then zoom this up to your screen&#039;s width and it will maintain its integrity pretty well.&nbsp; I think some 72 dpi monitors and displays can do that but I don&#039;t know if the results will be satisfactory.&nbsp; Maybe somebody can tell me how it looks when you zoom in with your computer.&nbsp; The technologies that have combined for us to share our photos have advanced a lot in the past ten years, even the last five.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
