<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1437234, member: 29751&quot;]Either there is wear or there isn&#039;t.&nbsp; &quot;Wear&quot; in the normal sense of the word (as in circulation wear) precludes an MS grade for a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, despite Doug&#039;s flowery and humorous story about &quot;half luster&quot; I believe this is an UNC coin.&nbsp; The spot in question is the most common place for a Walker to have weakness and residual bag marks left on the surface from an incompletely struck planchet (similar to Jefferson&#039;s cheek/jaw line on the Jefferson Nickel).&nbsp; The hokey about a &quot;different&quot; shade of gray is just that -- while the pictures are very high quality, you simply can&#039;t assess such things without rotating a coin under a light (in hand).&nbsp; I could see this coin grade MS64 no questions asked as long as there are no hairlines from cleaning in the obverse fields.&nbsp; Just my 2 cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
