55RB very nice.

 

AU-58 based on photo's . Always better to grade in hand , I recommend this .

 

^^^I use the pcgs app instead already have to much books.

 

You never can have too many books .

 

Given it's age, I think the strong strike and lack of wear (clear and strongly struck date, relief elements and wheat sheafs on reverse) would garner this coin at least a mid-MS grade or higher.

 

William, the bottom pic, of the reverse, looks like the only one taken without a flash. Let me see the obverse taken like that.

 

I’m seeing good separation everywhere thus far, an MS coin.

 

The first four photos, AU, details (cleaned). Last photo, red herring.

 

The flash pics can throw you. I’m not saying you’re wrong.

 

Check the orange peel and possible lacquer coating.

 

Just because you found it in circulation doesn’t mean it grades circulated.

 

I’m saying that graininess is accentuated from the flash.

 

Looks MS BN to me. Maybe a 63

 

1. How do you explain the stain on the last photo?
2. Why list AU details as an option.
3. I smell fish.

 

I’m trying to grade it while you’re trying to smell it. Lol.

 

I am probably wrong about the smell, but why list AU details as a choice? It does not make sense unless...

 

Unless he thinks it presumptively grades circulated simply because he found it in circulation...

 

@William F Why did you include AU details?

 

Robert, again, I think he’s just learning the ropes. I could be wrong. But I don’t think it’s a dx. He just thinks it’s a choice
