What grade and value would you say?

The coin has been cleaned, IMO. AU details. The coin is starting to re-tone.

 

I am thinking AU58, maybe 55. Hard to say on the value if that is raw a AU55/58 ... $50-$75? My gut says something might be "off" with it, but hard to tell from the pics.

 

doesn't have any hairlines on it but I guess it could have been dipped??

It doesn't have to have hairlines to be improperly cleaned. I see no evidence of luster at all. ~ Chris

 

can see some on reverse more than obverse.

 

Curious field next to her lips. With very slight wear, I'd say AU58. I don't see signs of cleaning, but then I usually don't unless harshly cleaned.

 

"Some" isn't good enough.

 

After a further view of the coin, I see tiny pit marks which is indicative of dipping left too long.

 

not sending this coin in for grading. It was in my Morgan and Peace dollar stash for silver value. Just evaluating how much over melt the coin might be worth is all.

 

you have better eyes than me than. You are most likely correct I think

 

That's because of my Magoo glasses.

 

AU details—cleaned. Lots of pitting, that shows mechanical cleaning, and washed out, luster less look.

 

still worth more than a cull right?

 

Value? Probably between $50-75 or more to the right person. IMO

I wouldn't pay more than melt for it!

 

The obverse cleaning might have been done with baking soda. No TPG
review, put it in a flip and learn from the experience.

 

you are harsh. I think its worth some premium over a cull

 

Going by the OP's pictures the color made this coin suspect. But pitting? First time I heard of that. Thanks for the education!
