<p>[QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 1147204, member: 16948"]RLM, Todd's photograph of this coin is amazing and depicts the cameo toning perfectly, but it is even more beautiful in hand because you can tilt it and see how deep and watery the mirrors are and how cobalt blue the toning is.

This coin is definitely, in my opinion, MS64 - nowhere near AU as your comment suggests. What might appear to you as wear or "rub" on the high points on this coin is more than likely due to whatever material the coin was stored in (paper envelope, folder, cellophane wrapper, etc.) simply resting on or touching the high points for many years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
