[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 4475802, member: 101855"]MS-64. It has some tick marks. On positive is that the coin does not seem to have any copper spots. The vast majority of these coins seem to have them. I have always liked this coin although a lot of coin dealers dislike, some intensely. I have a soft spot for Philadelphia. When I was young, it was the place I got to go to find good coins. I grew up in rural Delaware, and coin shops did not exist there. On a few of these coins that I have seen, the sunshine rays around Independence Hall really set the reverse off. It’s a beautiful effect with the gold making the backdrop work, but you don’t see it often. I had one such piece that I sold to a want list customer when I was a dealer.[/QUOTE]
