<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2934768, member: 15309&quot;]This coin has me absolutely scratching my head.&nbsp; At some angles, the obverse portrait appears to have significant wear.&nbsp; At others, those same areas simply appear to be untoned.&nbsp; For example, Jeff&#039;s neck and the back of his coat collar are toned in a bright shade of soft baby blue which dissipates to the areas that seem to be worn and display a dull grey color.&nbsp; But what if that toning wasn&#039;t there, or on the area of the face near the ear, the temple, or in the recesses of the hair, then the coin would display an even grey color.&nbsp; There are no signs of friction in the fields and the reverse shows no signs of wear at all.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/LVOP2Sp.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I purchased the coin which was advertised as a gem at MS65 money because I thought with the cleanliness of the coin it had a good shot at MS66 or even MS67 dependent upon the luster which you can&#039;t truly evaluate until you have the coin in hand.&nbsp; After receiving the coin, I feel the luster would max the coin at MS66 but I just don&#039;t know how NGC is going to interpret the obverse of this coin.&nbsp; I think the coin has a 50/50 shot at either MS66 or AU58.&nbsp; Being a pessimist for my own submissions, I am guessing they will grade it AU58.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
