A few things to remember, Certification and Attribution are Absolute and Definitive. Grading, on the other hand IS NOT. STRIKE is everything, be it strong or weak.

Nice coin! I would say XF45.
AU details, cleaned (overdipped), net XF.
I agree with Leadfoot... great AU details, cleaned, solid XF. Nice.
I'm no authority on these, so I'm eager to hear your opinion, Ben ! Thanks for the thread.
Ok, now check this out, I think I've got a circulated PROOF here. The earliest known is an 1822 which is in about the same condition I understand according to a member of the BHNC, but here is an 1821... See the reflection of text.

Wow, that is a beauty. I'd say AU-55 is it didn't have the cleaning. So net XF-45. Still, a very nice coin.
