[QUOTE="Market Harmony, post: 878142, member: 20154"]I am triple positive that this coin is real and has never been polished or conditioned. There is nothing wrong with the 'M' on the neck, and there is what appears to be minor rub on the hair above the ear. However, this rub is all in one direction, and has a texture as if it was moved across a rough surface once. The coin in hand does not have the same appearance as in the pictures. I closely examined the coin under 20X magnification and there are the tell tale signs of die polishing (raised straight lines in the fields and thicker in the deepest recesses of the coin) There are no indications of coin polishing or dipping, as there are no incused lines and the reverse and obverse have degrees of separation in toning. As stated, I am very confident that this coin is undoctored and 100% authentic. I would very much appreciate a grade. In my opinion, I have graded it as AU58, as the only signs of wear seem to be on the hair above the ear, and minor rub on the hair under liberty and above the eye... very minor. Everything else about this coin is MS, but I think it has seen a short stint of circulation.[/QUOTE]
