<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 421732, member: 5233"]I appreciate your kind words. I seem to have trouble grading Washington's for some reason...they are among the more challenging coins for me. One thing I noticed on this coin was how wonderfully clean the fields are...I felt they warranted a high MS grade. However, it seems that many of these late 60s clad coins tend to have a somewhat mushy strike. Maybe it's the pic, but the eagle on the reverse doesn't seem to have much detail. I have noticed this a lot on these coins and have wondered if it is because the clad is so much harder than silver. I have always assumed it took the mint a while to get the quality straightened out following the metal change. But, with the beautiful toning, I feel that a "*" is warranted on coin's like this...and I'm surprised it didn't.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
