<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1582893, member: 112"]I think the answers you got would have been different had you shown your second set of pictures (cropped to cut off the grade). Your fist set of pics make the coin look one with some hairlines (medium bad range) from rough handling. The second set of pics however make it look like what I suspect it is, a harshly cleaned coin that should be in a details slab. Based on your comments it sounds like you think so too.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the MS vs PF - it sure looks likes a PF. So maybe it's just a labeling error. But I can't really see the rims (because of the slab) well enough to decide if they are sharp and square or rounded over. On the other hand I can't really imagine a business strike looking like that either. Not even a Cameo business strike. So I guess I'm gonna have to go with labeling error.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a lesson to be learned here, I think think this is an excellent example of how misleading pictures can be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
