<p>[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 4662411, member: 78244"]I see no wear on the reverse, and no flattening on the obverse, so we have an MS baseline. There is some apparent luster, but much of it is hidden under a very deep skin of toning. Some of it looks very dark, almost black, so I would be worried about an ED designation, or at least an MS-60 grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>That said, if I were buying to resell, I’d be in at low AU money. If buying to collect, I’d be in at mid/high AU money. There’s just no telling what is under that toning. At $600, that sounds like solid MS-62 money. I’d make a hard pass at that level.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
