[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3340888, member: 19165"]Dang Larry, you had a really good FUN show! You made out like a bandit. This is by far the most difficult one to grade (you're going to get guesses all over the board). I really don't see any wear at all on this coin. So, I'm looking for discoloration of the high points, and luster disturbed in the fields - and I'm not really seeing that either. If this is circulated, it's a 58+. But, I think this one is UNC. Based on the somewhat dull luster and the amount of marks I'm seeing, I am going to guess this is graded 61. (As you well know, telling AU vs UNC is extremely difficult from pictures). Beautiful coin, especially with those amazing die cracks. This is clearly the GR-1 (the most common variety for the date), but it is a VERY late die state. Fascinating coin, Larry.[/QUOTE]
