<p>[QUOTE="bqcoins, post: 1854436, member: 5036"]It is getting to the point where it is hard for me to find upgrades for my album, not only that but for the most part it is getting so that it requires planning and saving to try and find those upgrades. finding one within my price range is pretty rare, finding two inside a week is a darn miracle. The 1892 O is a strong XF45 that shows signs of an old wiping, but the coin still has some luster hiding in the protected fields. The 1906 on the other hand is one of those coins I love to hate. What is the difference between AU-58 and MS60-63? Well, the appearance of the smallest amount of wear will do it, which sometimes is hard to tell if luster breaks are wear or just friction from previous storage....this coins could fall anywhere in that range an I would be perfectly fine with it for the price I paid. The eternal optimist wants to call it MS-62 but the realist in me, some might say the pessimist, thinks he sees a light rub on the cheek that would bring it down to AU-58, but either way the coin looks fabulous and I just love the strong die clash on the reverse. Opinions as always are welcome. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/Tonsoris%20Diobolare/1892O2_zps544d6227.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/Tonsoris%20Diobolare/1906-_zpsc3b3fa25.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
