[QUOTE="jeff, post: 3454, member: 585"][b]Slab graded coins -21 Peace[/b] Wow -that was a clear and simplified answer to date on this subject -thanks -i will keep this one for future ref. It never occured to me, though I understand luster -to look for a break in luster in determining condition. The coin in particular is actually dark toned -not multicolor -just an even brown -but it really shows the amazing detail in the coin -especially the reverse -all the feathers are visible and clear -i can find no indication of wear on that side -the front is also very detailed except for the hair clump which appears to be either worn down or squashed for a better lack of description -dont want to fool myself into thinking this one should be shipped off for grading -but the curiosity is killing me to find out how i stack up against the pros in terms of determining a good find. Guess there is no answer there except to take a chance and send it in -chalk up it to tuition expense -but what a blast when i found it! albiet at a coin show.[/QUOTE]
