In addition, this coin exhibits poor striking characteristics with a die pair in desperate need of refurbishing, which eliminates any chance for booming luster. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, the only way this coin could ever make MS67 is to send it to NGC and hope they like the toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line, buy the coin, not the slab.
