To be honest, we’d grade this coin VERY choice AU 58. If we absolutely had to go MS we’d go 62 all day long. A 61 grade (to us) implies issues with eye appeal. Obviously, this is not the “problem” kind of MS 61. This is a gorgeously toned original early silver Soviet Union type example that we think is at the very high end of the eye appeal spectrum.
