<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 399373, member: 2972&quot;]NGC graded the coin MS 65.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are my subjective opinions on the coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>I loved this coin the second I saw it, and short of the weak obverse strike and a few miniscule carbon specs, I can&#039;t really understand why the coin didn&#039;t grade higher.&nbsp; Take a look at the large photos and see if you can find any contact marks.&nbsp; I see a few tiny ones on the reverse fields, and a few hidden on the obverse -- none of which are visible to my naked eye.</p><p><br /></p><p>For some odd reason, it is hard to find shield nickels attractively toned.&nbsp; When you do, they are generally proof coins, so finding a business strike with attractive toning is a real challenge.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks to everyone for their comments &amp; guesses.&nbsp; I appreciate it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have fun....Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
