Show your MS 60!

I knew that MS60 is seldom awarded. Going through my holdings out of many many coins, I only own a single coin graded as such. So I guess it is rare. So if you have any, show it!

    I only have one, a Chile 5 Pesos from 1927. Also, I acquired it prior to my photographing my coins, so I have no image.

    I hate MS60-61 grades with a passion. You either get beat up dogs that are technical MS or nice AU pieces that were net graded up. Both examples upset me surprisingly a lot.

    ALMOST always :->. I don't usually much show and tell, but this piece sticks out in my head. Somewhat scruffy in the fields as you can see (and as the grade suggests), and a teensy-weensy bit weakly struck (though average for those transitional years?)... but the frost is intact enough, no pattern of hairlining, and the eye appeal is solid:

    @asheland feel free to post it! As long as it is the dreaded 60 is welcome!

    For a 60, I find it splendid! Original skin and very few marks for the grade:

    Thanks @asheland I would grab that coin without second thoughts!

    Unless there are shallow scuffs that show badly in hand when tilted around, or a hairline patch we're not seeing, that $20 was a 62 even then, I'd say.

    Of course, it's an insipid American, so who cares.
