<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1485553, member: 5233&quot;]OK, well I gave it about a day so here it is.&nbsp; Many of you will probably be very surprised but the coin is graded <b>MS64PL</b>.&nbsp; So, Doug was the closet.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/img041.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I personally believe this coin is properly graded.&nbsp; There are a couple hits on the obverse that knock the grade down considerably.&nbsp; In the middle of Washington&#039;s neck is a ding, there is some chatter on the neck next to the ponytail, and a couple little rim scuffs.&nbsp; However, the coins is extremely clean otherwise with wonderful fields and these marks do not affect the eye appeal much (only the mark in the middle of the neck affects eye appeal and in hand it&#039;s not bad).&nbsp; It has a very strong proof like appearance and an excellent strike.&nbsp; If I didn&#039;t know better, I would say the coin is a non-cameo proof just like was common in the 1960s and before.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought this coin on eBay and paid $32 for it.&nbsp; I might have paid a little on the high side but I really liked the coin.&nbsp; I love the PL features (this is my first business strike PL clad coin) and I like that it is the last year of the design.&nbsp; I&#039;m very happy with the purchase.</p><p><br /></p><p>The following are the auction photos which I believe were taken to really make the PL features standout.&nbsp; They succeeded in doing that...but they also make the coin look much more marked up than it is.&nbsp; I was extremely surprised when I got the coin in hand how nice it actually looked.&nbsp; My photos give a much more accurate look at the coin in hand...but here are the auctions photos.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/1998Do25.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/1998Dr25.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
