[QUOTE="Paul M., post: 2323564, member: 73165"]No way. At minimum, the surfaces are too clean for a 63. Those carbon spots people are arguing about are the definition of "not distracting."

It's hard to tell what kind of luster it has, but I can't see any possible universe in which that coin comes back 63. With good luster, it's an easy 64 and with excellent luster, I wouldn't have a problem at 65. Edit: I completely missed that the bottom coin in this postis a completely different coin!
