Detailed MS-60 Quality
-
Luster: The striking luster is weak, interrupted, or absent in certain areas. It may be dull and uneven.
-
Strike: The strike may be very weak or incomplete in many areas, not showing clear details.
-
Imperfections: An MS-60 coin exhibits numerous severe contact marks, scratches, or prominent and distracting bag marks on the fields. These defects are highly visible to the naked eye. The only distinguishing characteristic from a circulating coin is the complete absence of rubbing or wear on the highest points.
