I graded it MS-60. I think it's obvious it's been dipped somewhere along the line and it shows some beat-up. I don't feel confident in that grade nor in my determination that it's not a details coin.

I intend to replace this Type 2 example with a graded MS-64 or 65 coin when the time is right so part of my desire to fine-tune the grade of the existing coin is to prioritize the replacement amongst all my other wants.
