<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Beefer518, post: 5237708, member: 87737&quot;]So when I first saw the coin, the first thing I noticed was that the color was much more booming then the photos I based my purchase on, so that was a score IMO. Second thing was that the luster is full, including on the sails. Third thing I noticed (with directed light) was that the surfaces at the legends (obverse and reverse) were mirror-like. It&#039;s impossible for me to capture that in an image with it being in a slab (and I tried). I believe this coin was struck from a late state proof-like die.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a somewhat weakly struck coin, with no rub. What you folks saw as rub is actually weak strike, and planchet flaws that weren&#039;t struck out. This is why I absolutely hate trying to grade Columbians that I don&#039;t have in hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, here ya go;</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1217589[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
