<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 4855385, member: 15309"]This is going to sound very counterintuitive, but surface preservation means less at this level.

By your evaluation, it has what you consider MS67 surfaces. But the combination of incredible toning, superb luster, and the resultant eye appeal is what separates a coin like this from an untoned MS67 FB Mercury Dime.</p><p><br /></p><p>For that reason, I say this coin has a green bean.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
