<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dynoking, post: 7891649, member: 81795&quot;]Am I seeing two rub marks at the base of Washingtons neck? If so, that would put this coin in AU territory. Are the hits on the talons bag marks or from circulation? Some very sharp minds and eyes have viewed this coin here but have not mentioned either. Am I that far off?</p><p>I don&#039;t see any hint of luster in these photo&#039;s (which show details very clearly BTW, kudos to the lensman for sharpness). You had the coin in hand and state it has rolling luster (cartwheels). I&#039;ll take you at your word. If I&#039;m correct about the rub marks the coin I would grade at AU58. If I&#039;m wrong I think the vertical scratch on Washingtons&#039; cheek and hit on his nose would hold it back to MS64.</p><p>Great discussion, and good example of coin BTW. Is that a die crack at the top of IBE? Good luck with the TPG grade, please post the result when you receive the coin. I encourage all to critique my observations and comments.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
