<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LostDutchman, post: 800729, member: 16994&quot;]My guess would be the luster (or lack of) on the obverse. A coin with that much detail should have a lot more luster. Hard to tell from those pictures but if I was a betting man I would bet that it&#039;s due to impaired surfaces. It might have been in an old Whitman album with the obverse exposed and might have been wiped a few times... this is commonly the reason why coins can have an impaired obverse and a blazing reverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
