<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 702552, member: 19423&quot;]Ok, now that I&#039;ve taken another look at the 1900 and have compared it to a few of my MS Barber Halves, I think it&#039;s definitely an MS coin.&nbsp; I&#039;d be shocked otherwise.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, while the pic is excellent, I really don&#039;t think the coin has the luster the pic makes me think is there.&nbsp; In looking at the right obverse field what I originally thought was just toning, now looks more and more like some sort of haze or muted luster.&nbsp; Same on the reverse too... the coin just doesn&#039;t seem to cartwheel the same way that my MS65 and MS66 Barber Halves seem to, but it is very close.&nbsp; The coin actually is more comparable to my better MS62 and MS63 examples.&nbsp; Give the small spots at the beginning and end of LIBERTY on the obverse I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if they said MS62 for this coin, but they probably gave it a point or two higher for overall eye appeal.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Tough tough tough coin to grade from that photo.&nbsp; But I guess I&#039;ve made 3 or 4 guesses now so maybe one of them is correct <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
