    Obverse has some decent toning but the reverse is a nice pastel rainbow pattern.The coin is not cleaned has some nice luster in person and overall appearance. IMG_20220219_161841.jpg IMG_20220219_160051.jpg IMG_20220219_155624.jpg IMG_20220219_161859.jpg IMG_20220219_161924.jpg

    Danomite What do you say uh-huh

    Based on the pictures, 58. Did you check for DDR?

    Kinda looks like it. Better pictures of the obverse die clash, the LLO, and the MM placement would help.

    I'll say AU55. Pretty rough checks and rims.

    Looks AU to me. 53-55 range. Hard to tell from the photographs.

    There are a few die clashes on the obverse. I think it looks like a DDR. Lots of die artifacts.

    Rim dings on both sides, like the toning, EF in my opinion. Good luck.

    Definitely not XF and I guess my pictures aren't good enough. thought they were but apparently not I just can't get the luster so here's the reveal anyway.The coin is much much different in person. IMG_20220219_163954.jpg

    No, the pictures were blurry, and too dark. The coin looked AU in that light.

    Thats what I stated,couldn't get the booming luster in the picture and some other defects caused confusion really a different coin in person.

    Sometimes it's hard to take a picture with a phone,really difficult to have the right setup when the phone is above the coin.

    MY guess is 63, not 65.

    My grade would be MS-62. It's got mint surfaces, but it also has a lot of significant marks.

    This is why grading from photos is only guessing. I wouldn't have given that even an AU based on the photos provided. It also shows why buying online is a crapshoot for the same reasons.
