<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 366566, member: 9474&quot;]What you don&#039;t see in the pics is that the coin has nice luster - but I wouldn&#039;t call it brilliant - which made me suspect exactly what Leadfoot was suggesting that maybe at one time it was dipped. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; But then again, I have never seen one of these coins with brilliant luster.&nbsp; Maybe I just never saw the right one, but this is one of the best that I have personally seen.&nbsp; My supply is limited to just what I see at my coin shop and shows.&nbsp; Ever since I first started taking pics with my camera - I now notice that it picks up spots that were not seen before - such as the apparent rub on the chin. The marks on the cheek are much more pronouced on this pic than they are when looking at the coin through a loupe. Other than the distracting bag hit on the sail, the reverse is in nice shape. There are a few other hits on a few letters, but it is nice.&nbsp; It is tough to find one of these with full details in the sails.&nbsp; The third sail appears weak, but that is typical for this issue.&nbsp; Thats all I have to say for now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
