<p>[QUOTE=&quot;imrich, post: 7872081, member: 22331&quot;]The original A.N.A. standard for a Franklin MS-60 is: A strictly Uncirculated coin with no traces of wear <span style="color: #ff0000">(e.g. scratches/gouges)/1977 Std./RJF</span>, but with blemishes <span style="color: #ff4d4d">(i.e. few barely noticeable nicks or marks)/1977 Std./RJF</span>, but with blemishes more obvious than higher grades, may lack mint luster, but may be unevenly toned.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe that may describe the coin shown in post 88 close-up, possibly if one likes surface luster altered by chemical deterioration?. Not MINT STATE, as would be received &quot;in-hand&quot;, after just being struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>A POSSIBLE AU-59, BUT LESS THAN MS-60!</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #ff0000">JMHO/RJF</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
