<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jtlee321, post: 5011417, member: 73983&quot;]I have to admit, this one has stirred the hornets nest a bit.&nbsp; The Eagle&#039;s breast on the reverse has a decent hit, but, it&#039;s not really deep and is shiny similar to the tops of the breast feathers, which is why it appears dark and over exaggerated.&nbsp; I am including a 100% crop of the breast area.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can see in the red circled area, is the initial hit.&nbsp; The area circled in blue is superficial and had a light scrape.&nbsp; I took all this into consideration when buying the coin.&nbsp; I have most definitely seen much worse looking hits on Liberty&#039;s cheek that still received numerical grades as high as MS-63.</p><p><br /></p><p>The fields of this coins are a stunning semi-PL.&nbsp; The obverse is even brighter than the reverse as far as reflectivity and so any minor hits are amplified.&nbsp; The cheek, neck, hair and cap of Liberty are as clean as any MS-67 I&#039;ve ever seen.&nbsp; Taking all that into consideration, if I ever come across an MS-64 that looks as good as this one does, I will buy it in a heart beat.&nbsp; For $65.00 I am willing to wager that anyone who had a chance to examine this coin in hand, would have snatched it up. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I&#039;m glad I did. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I thank you all for your comments and critiques.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1201916[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1201915[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1201917[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
