<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 438814, member: 307&quot;]Spot on, Lehigh! It IS an old green holder (after the rattler, but before the new green holder, before the current blue holder). And your logic is also spot on... If this coin isn&#039;t MS, then I am an idiot for certifying a $10 coin, so you are safe to assume that it is indeed an MS coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>I like to show this coin because (and this is directed at Ruben, No stupidity in your statement at all, sir!) if I hadn&#039;t seen it in the slab, I would have NEVER believed that this coin is MS. I have learened so much from this particular coin about toned coins and toning on coins in general. Mostly how to look for luster underneath the toning, and on the highest points of a design for wear.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You can totally tell when the coin is in hand, though. There is luster underneath all of the monster toning on this coin! It is really apparent on the reverse, but you must look closely to see it on the obverse and the pics don&#039;t really show it well to be honest, and the detail is ALL there. </p><p><br /></p><p>I will let a few more chime in before I disclose the grade on the slab and keep the coin... (curse you Spock! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> )</p><p><br /></p><p>congratulate yourself, Lehigh! good detective work! and HUSH, Spock, I did NOT!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
