<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sunflower, post: 864390, member: 23219&quot;]From a first day grader:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1853: MS-64 (there is no price note/list for a MS64 in the Red Book, so I do not feel very confident.) - This 1853 had some coloring on the reverse that was attractive to me, but I was not sure if it was environmental staining, or natural toning. The surface was well formed. Definately an uncirculated. Could this be a fake or a treasure? The die appears off center. The rim on the obverse (left) side floats more than I would expect. Since MS-64 are not common for this year? Was it buried? The die placement strikes me as one of the most unique features, as well as the lack of wear. Did you get the pic from a Stack&#039;s catalogue? It appears to be from the Philadelphia Mint. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1857: F-12 (Is the coloring natural?)-</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks again for letting me try.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
