    The coin is really beautiful. But I can't help noticing a couple things that detract from it, namely the rubs on most high points, mostly visible on the hands and nose of Mary. So I don't believe the MS-65 grade is warranted, and would give it an AU-58. Another thought crossed my mind, and that is AT. image However, I can't be certain of it. But the rubbing off of the tarnish suggests definite wear.

    Beautiful coin Marty! Along the lines of what Jester said, is the hand as flat as it looks, and is it wear or a weak strike?

    The toning looks like the coin was strored in a envelope for a long time. The hand is one of the high points and just didn't tone. In the photo it looks like rub, but in hand it's just not toned.
