[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 2435307, member: 78244"]Well, the grade is [ATTACH=full]506489[/ATTACH] which I think is stupid because "[B]Mint State[/B]" means [U][I][B]NO WEAR OR CIRCULATION[/B][/I][/U]. Dont give me any of the "market grade" crap. If it is worth a premium because of the eye appeal, then someone will pay for it if the buyer has any appreciable knowledge about coins.

If you feel like overpaying for an overgraded and overpriced AU half dollar (which is quite nice), you can buy it here: [url]http://treasureofsignificance.com/xcart/product.php?productid=17620&page=1[/url][/QUOTE]
