    I don't care for adjustment marks, especially when across the design, they tend to turn me off.

    I don't find those overly distracting. I've definitely seen worse.

    "The coin is graded MS62 and the surfaces are as pristine as one would expect at that level."


    Not sure how to read this description. Is it a compliment or not?

    I agree. Not a problem on early coinage.

    I couldn't own that one.



    It is directly across the central design and is too distracting to me.



    There are others without them or others that are not so obvious and obtrusive.



    That would be a pass for me, especially at that price.

    To me, it is a nice coin. At least, our host did not think it could be an AT.

    Wife occasionally reminds that I should have bought that coin the Jan 2000 Fun Show when it was one fifth of todays price. Martin Logies told he passed on it the first time when it was one tenth of todays value

    Another dealer at that Fun show told me it was a hard sell due to the adjustment marks but I really didn't mind the adjustment marks (the photo seems to accenturate the marks)

    Tradedollarnut, do you currently own that coin

    No. This coin is prime example number one of the MS58 grade

    All noted. Can say it would do nothing but BOTHER....me.



    I would not commit serious money to a washboard. Mint origin or not.

    Rather have a lesser grade without adjustment marks ALL OVER the MAIN design element.

    Doesn't bother me- the coin is as-struck. It's just how they made them back then.

    In adjustment marks on early bust silver is a big negative, I guess that means that roller marks on pristine gem Barber halves is a no-no tooimage.

    Think that's why it was SAVED? As an example of ...what can happen?



    At the time it WAS saved, there were certainly un-adjusted ones to pick from.

    Nice coin, unfortunate adjustment marks, the advanced collector appreciates the historical significance and "as made" nature of the marks,

    particularly in the scope of a larger set of bust dollars



    As a type coin, agree that I'd probably look for another, particularly at this grade level, they do detract from eye appeal, despite being bade at the mint vs afterward

    Beautiful coin. Adjustment marks are just fine in my book.

    How about this one? (BTW, not my coin, but one I had seen go from auction to auction seeking a home, making its way from an AU58 grade to an MS61 grade.)

    I'd pass on that one, too. Sounds like nobody wanted it.



    P.S. I like it better as a 58.

    Really? Remember that these were minted for the silver depositor. Did American dollar coinage really circulate that much? Seems to me the chance meeting of an early silver dollar with a collector would be more of chance than anything...and you saved what you came upon no matter the mint made defects
