<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 7690349, member: 24091&quot;]You are probably correct, sending it in slabbed will get me an MS61 at best, raw probably an MS62 or even MS63.&nbsp; It has a nice warm satiny look to it, here&#039;s the reverse.&nbsp; I can&#039;t see any wear on the high points at the upper corners of the coat of arms.&nbsp; The knots on the corners show wear first, and I don&#039;t see any luster breaks.&nbsp; There might be a touch of cabinet friction in the upper reaches of the hair on the obverse, but given how clean the fields are it&#039;s hard to imagine the coin not rating UNC.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1320462[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the same coin headed to auction at Stack&#039;s.&nbsp; I would say this is accurate at MS64.&nbsp; Certainly nicer than mine regardless of assigned grade.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots/view/3-ROJXK/albania-20-franga-ari-1937-r-rome-mint-pcgs-ms-64-gold-shield" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots/view/3-ROJXK/albania-20-franga-ari-1937-r-rome-mint-pcgs-ms-64-gold-shield" rel="nofollow">https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots/view/3-ROJXK/albania-20-franga-ari-1937-r-rome-mint-pcgs-ms-64-gold-shield</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
