<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2515330, member: 1892"]It's a pretty decent strike - cotton bolls, talons and lower leaves all nicely defined - but the amount of surface chatter which doesn't lend itself to known artifacts of Mint handling would leave me having to assume it's a barely-worn circulated example. Probably one which knocked about in pockets/bags/cashboxes after release more than being physically handled by fingers. Strict technical detail seems AU58ish, but I could see it being netted to 55 due to the marks. In truth, at least based on these images I can't quite buy it getting a Gold Bean. With that said, there's only one set of images and we all know how harsh digital imagery is on such things; I might change my mind with the coin in-hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>And the 20C is To Die For™. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
