<p>[QUOTE="Richard01, post: 116328, member: 2700"]Thanks for the feedback. I think it is gong to come back uncirculated. The seller and I agree on that, but I won't know until it comes back. The details on the horizontal bars have the appearance of wear, but it is striking issues, I believe, with a general flatness in the middle. Although that is the same place you'd expect to see wear, there is no break in luster, nor is there any signs of wear on any other high spots. It may have something to do with the doubling in that area.</p><p>I'd definately appreciate any other opinions on wear!</p><p><br /></p><p>I just checked some grading information, and there should be signs of wear (breaks in luster) on the tips of the leaves on an AU. If you look at the detail, they look clean to me. I did validate that the flatness of the shield cross bars is due to the double striking throughout that whole area. </p><p>I graded the coin as MS63, as did the seller. I am hoping that there is no wear! Anyone else have a thought on wear? Any experts on these coins out there? If an AU, I am still comfortable I'd have made a good long term investment due to the ultra rarity... but I am really hoping for an UNC.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
