<p>[QUOTE="Magnus87, post: 3923181, member: 96372"]It really SHOULDN’T get a details grade: the defects noted by others are trivial and, like almost any coin of its era, it has likely been cleaned at some point. That said, however, any such cleaning was gentle enough not to have left hairlines (at least none I can see from your photo), and it is now toned both appropriately and pleasantly.
