    I'm guessing Bochiman bought it already slabbed....I agree it's undergraded, but I doubt anyone would grade it higher than a 64, and given the small price spread, I don't think it's worth sending it elsewhere, other than to 'fill out' a minimum submission, unless one needed a particular 'brand' of plastic. >>



    Rick is right on both accounts.
    Bought already slabbed (thinking to crack it out for a project for my mom (her birthyear and she loves halves and dimes) but just didn't get around to it as I found a raw one with some toning).

    I've looked at price difference for MS63->MS64 and it isn't worth going for it. Would have to be a lock MS65, which, from what folks here have said (from the pictures), it isn't....and I would agree with that.

    As for the particular brand of plastic....not needed as my son, nor I, have WL registry sets so don't need it. Just a coin I wanted for a different reason.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I was almost ready to guess when the grade posted.

    I finally noticed the larger photos and my guess went from AU58 to MS60-63.

    The obverse has a weak strike which looks like wear in the smaller photos but otherwise it is a very attractive example.

    Weak strike, no wear.........coin is undergraded.
