Guess the grade 1873 Open - 3

I like oddities, anything out of the ordinary or makes it special in some way, this is a pretty good example.

Okay I'll bite: VF 20

 

It looks like it has a lot of luster, so it must be an AU-55 or higher. It's not Unc. The trouble is the photo does not show the hair detail above Ms. Liberty's ear. It's got to be there, or there is a serious issue.

This one is graded MS-63.

 

I agree this is an oddity - when I first saw the obverse it was like okay VF then scrolling down I see what looks like a very nice reverse that could easily be high AU to low MS. So scrolling up and down I see luster hiding about the coin. So going to guess (and purely a guess) AU-50.

 

XF-45

 

Are you going to reveal the grade?

 

Yes, here you go

 

As posted by @johnmilton and his example, this one falls a little short on luster
and i think that,s the reason its an A/U-58 versus a MS one.

 

If that obverse is 58 I'm an uptown neurosurgeon in a big red Mercedes.

And undoubtedly "soooo interesting" to adoring women.

 

This is graded AU-58. It's in an old NGC holder, and I agree with the grade.

 

I agree too. But not with the OP's coin.
