Hi Everyone I posted this coin when I won it, well it arrived today and I took my own pictures.
This time I was able to get a pretty good picture and it shows a lot of detail not seen in the first.
It is in a 2/2 flip and any marks you may see is from the plastic on the flip.
I just can not believe how amazing this coin looks in hand, just looking at the coin you can see all the detail without a loupe.
With a loup it blew me away, for a coin that is 119 years old, it looks like it was made for a proof set yesterday.
What I find fascinating is where has this coin been for nearly a hundred and twenty years?
I would like to get some help here grading this coin, I say MS 66, I have great respect in the grading skills of the members of this form and would like to hear what you have to say. I hope my pictures are good enough to help in your decision. Remember any marks you see are on the plastic cover, not the coin.
I am sorry if I made the pictures a little on the big side, I am not very good at using the software.
Thanks everyone.
All the best
Alan
