Owner's Comments

This coin was placed up for auction on the 3rd of October 2022 @ 9:04:57 pm PDT with a price of $9.95. This auction had 15 bidders make 19 bids. My bid was placed @ 9:06:19 am PDT on the 10th of October 2022 and it ended later that day @ 9:04 pm PDT. My bid was the last and held through the close. On the 21st of October 2022, I examined this coin with my Vantage 10X Loupe and describe it thusly. The Obverse has light marking over the entire coin which is why it is graded as an MS61. 2 larger marks are just to the right of the "7" of the date, some black carbon within the "9" of the date, some h heavier marks starting to the left of the date and the first star and moving up to her chin, a large mark on the front of her chin and another just below the mouth, more black carbon just above the "L" of "LIBERTY" of her headband and more just at the top of her hairline, 3 sets of 2 deep marks just below her hair bun and a small black carbon spot in the star just beside. The Reverse has the same light makings all over the coin as an MS61 would have. some deeper larger marks between the top leaf clump of the wreath and the Eagle's left wing, at the top of the coin several letters, devices have the same black carbon spots, The Eagle's eye, "STATES", "IN GOD WE TRUST" banner, right-wing and between the wing tip and the "IN GOD WE TRUST" banner, the 1st "A" of "AMERICA", between the top 2 arrowheads. This is a nice coin but is a little dull or dark in its look. This coin is held in a PCGS holder Generation 4.4 used from November of 2005 to December of 2011 and it has the Silver color-shifting hologram that was introduced in March of 2011.
