In my opinion, this coin was an original AU/Unc "slider" that was very carefully processed (i. e. "conserved" or cleaned, take your choice of terms) to make it appear Uncirculated, an "old school" trick from the 1970's era. It may in fact have been an actual BU coin that had darker toning removed. I see NO bagmarks under 5x magnification, just some random scuffs/ticks and very light hairlines. The luster while a bit dulled by whatever was done to this coin appears complete, and is obvious when the coin is rotated. A shame as this is a super sharp example of this tougher date. It has the general eye appear of a Choice BU coin with Full Bands, which is normally a $600-$700 coin. Considering that, if you can live with the "issues", this should fill a hole for someone. While this coin will not certify in anything but a Details holder, it is guaranteed genuine, backed by our firm’s 80+ years in the business, plus all the industry “garden salad” (PCGS, CAC, NGC, ANACS, ANA, etc., etc.). Priced based upon the real world market I have to purchase coins in.

All checks must clear prior to payment of purchase, which may take up to 12 Business days. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE PRIOR TO PAYMENT. I combine all shipping charges to the minimum necessary to get purchases to the customer. Please be aware that the USPS has recently increased postage for package shipments and Insurance - $7-$9 for shipping may look like a lot, but it barely covers my actual cost.
