1927 PCGS MS-63 (rattler).

Surface texture exceeds expectations for MS-63, being smooth and distraction free in the fields. A strong candidate for upgrade, given a lack of even moderate marks on Liberty's portrait. |

Some near-horizontal hairlines across the upper reverse of one coin suggests a trivial, old wipe, but both of these coins benefit from fine luster and the presence of very few marks. Two coin lot. |
