<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oval_man, post: 1100770, member: 22602&quot;]For some reason this coin (the 1840) looks much more lustrous to me in the OP than in this photo, especially side-by-side with the &#039;39. I&#039;m going to have to revise my grade from MS62 down to AU53.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I see very little discoloration that would suggest &quot;rub&quot; on the 1840, particularly on the reverse. I had a sneaking suspicion you were trying to fool us with this one, because, although there looks to be rub on the ear and lower hair curl, there is none on some other high points such as the top of the coronet, curls above brow, cheekbone, etc. And that grey-ish discoloration on the ear and hair curl is not necessarily the grey of &quot;wear,&quot; as it can be found in recessed areas elsewhere on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I&#039;m kinda stumped![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
