<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 153468, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;d have to say that PCGS overgraded that coin you linked to by 2 - 3 points. I&#039;d grade it a 60, 61 at the very best. Your coin is actually quite a bit nicer, but it does have wear. Speedy&#039;s illustration is accurate as for some of the places I see wear, there is also wear on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>The difference between the two coin are darker areas on your coin that Speedy mentioned. Look at the high points on the slabbed coin, see how there is still luster there ? By that I mean it has the same color and sheen that adjoining low points have. Luster is what reflects the light in a pic. But on your coin, if you look at the high points you can see how they are a bit darker than the adjoining low points. They are dark because the luster has been worn off by wear. But the wear is very slight so it takes a practiced eye to notice it unless someone points it out to you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
