Sorry for the delay Mike.&nbsp; Christmas and the flu shut me down.&nbsp; I just flat out missed this post with the postage stamp size picture the first time around and your later post of &#039;Tube, this is not a test&quot; now makes sense. I have been rereading the entire thread trying to catch up. This thread is REALLY deep. Anyway I am sorely unqualified to comment on this coin but since you posted it specifically for me, here goes.....Just looks like normal wear to me (wear is wear) The high points that should be rounded and lustrous are flat possibly from stacking.&nbsp; The black/darkess&nbsp; appears to be dirt in areas of high point pitting similar to the brow on many Unc Franklins that did not strike up well.&nbsp; The scratches seem to be just normal wear that I see on circulated coins.&nbsp; Coin looks terrible at 15X magnification. The pic looks like it could be a 30X of a gold filling, a brass bell clanger or a manhole cover<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; Thanks again Mike and rest of you for all the info, there is just flat out VOLUMES of education in this thread alone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
