    Coins in this range are hard to grade without having a good feel for the luster. It does appear lightly circulated, I feel. 53-58 range.

    Well, I haven't quite figured out how to get images to show up on this forum. I haven't tried too hard, but every time I try to embed something, all I get is a red X or whatever. Maybe someone could enlighten me.

    This is what I do. At the bottom of the reply window, click the upload a file button and find the file on your device. Click on it and click on open. It should show. Next click on the full image button and click on post reply.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    I'd probably put it at a 53. Not enough color for my tastes, but the luster appears nice, the strike is good, and I don't see any major distracting marks (except for the spot at the date).

    Dentils on the reverse look kinda weird, though. Is that a normal appearance for this O#?

    You’ll get it after a number of tries. Just follow @ldhair directions. Nice looking coin, in the low AU range.

    And, yes, the weak dentils on the reverse are "common" for this totally uncommon die marriage.

    It’s hard to see the luster in the photo, but the design details look like AU-58. The slab grade will probably be 55 or 58, no lower.

    I messed up and bought one in an MS-63 holder that is not as good. I regret that purchase to this day.
