    Without using Photograde or pulling down the ANA grading standards book or my ancient Brown & Dunn, I think I see an XF45 to AU53 coin there. Split the diff and say AU50?

    Hmm. The color looked OK to me?

    But I guess I wouldn't stake any money on my opinion.

    Looks ok to me too. Wondered if anyone looked close enough to attribute it.

    XF-45 or if it has a little luster left AU-50.

    There do seem to be some traces of faint, greyish haze in places that have me wondering. I probably wouldn't offer much more than XF money, I guess.

    Just to be safe. That being said, it doesn't look too bad to me.

    Well this is the second one that I have found in as many months that is unattributed. I could kick myself for letting the first one get away. This one is nicer, I gave it my best shot, wish me luck.

    Definitely slab it if you want to flip it, you'd make a killing. If you're going to keep it though, what's the point? And I was right, you stole it. Where did you find it?

    Is it a "Small Motto" I can't quite tell from the photo's. The photo in the OP looks like the center riser in the W of WE could have a serif. If that's the case, then it would be a "Large Motto". I hope you got a great pick though.
