[QUOTE="AdamL, post: 8465310, member: 6029"][ATTACH=full]1499755[/ATTACH] The follow up question I mentioned is: Would you try to get this upgraded? Maybe send it to NGC and see if it gets a 63. Of course, all of the AU guesses have me second guessing that. But CAC agreed. Also the 34-S isn't known for a strongly struck specimens, although they do exist. I saw it as a 63. The dealer I bought it from thought it was undergraded, though he has reason to be biased obviously. At the same show I found 2 in MS63 holders, which I inspected. One looked pretty similar to this one besides the price tag being over $900 more than I paid for the 61. The other was kind of ugly for a 63 and was still over $700 more than my 61 in price. So there is some incentive there for me to consider trying for an upgrade. The Trueview does a very good job of showing all the marks on this coin. The chatter on the right field and the hit to the upper left part of Liberty's skirt are the main things that catch my eye, and those are not that bad. I've seen 64's with more marks. I don't see wear, but perhaps evidence of a weak strike on parts of the obverse. Edited to add: The luster isn't necessarily booming, but it looks duller in the pics than it actually is. There is luster there. I need to do more work on taking my own photos.[/QUOTE]
