<p>[QUOTE="Mac McDonald, post: 6686965, member: 117420"]Yes, indeed a nice-looker. Have seen better strikes...lacks more netting detail (have seen almost complete) up the ship's masts for one thing. Many years ago when PCGS returned rejected coins in "body bags"...before slabbing as AU or MS "details"...I'd have been concerned with the obverse-field hairlines...someone said die polish marks and maybe so/maybe not, but have seen rejections for otherwise decent/handsome coins for less. Since it or "other" isn't an option to select from...and not sure I would with just the pics (and good ones!)...I went with a 64 but wouldn't be surprised by a 58, either, with possibly some traces..."whisps"...of very light wear across some of the sleeve wrinkles and on the hand and book corner. It's so ridiculously (too) subjective and nit-picky...makes you think you see/imagine things that aren't there sometimes. Didn't mean to write so much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
