Lot Description

7 graded MS-60, 43 higher at NGC. Cynics might say that too many "UNC" examples made it into higher grades and would be more deserving of the basal MS-60 assessment, a level sadly underused by all grading services. The grade here aptly denotes full luster, but also a fair level of abrading in the central fields, as well as a tiny void just beneath Liberty's earlobe. A well struck coin with nicer radial die cracks on the reverse.
