    Wow, I think that the grader was tough on this coin.

    Really nice piece for the grade.

    Congrats, Donato

    In the pics provided I can see some hairlines. If you tilt and rotate this coin and carefully examine it under a halogen light many more hairlines may be revealed. I'd be concerned that if you send it to one of the major grading services it may be graded as being cleaned with a details grade.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
