<p>[QUOTE="Tom B, post: 876801, member: 11854"]Is it just an incredibly smooth AU58 that was bumped to MS62 based upon the lack of field marks? The nostril, hair above the ear, haircurl behind the nape of the neck and haircurl on the shoulder nearing the clavicle not only look a bit flat, which can be due to insufficient strike, but also appear to be a different color from the fields, date and cheekbone and hairlines. Additionally, some of the tops of the leaves and bow on the reverse show a darker hue. If this coin were turned under a strong light it might be easier to determine if this is from light friction or insufficient striking pressure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
