GTG 1861 3ct silver coin

As promised earlier in another thread, here's my GTG for an amazing

1861 3ct silver coin

I'll wait for 3 days (when the poll closes) and post the results then.
It has been recently graded by NGC, that's all I am telling you right now ;-)

If you vote for AU-DET or UNC-DET please let us know what problem you see.

 

I went with AU-58.
I see a few very small spots that I believe is where the toning is broken.

 

This series always seems like a tough one to grade, since there's no bust, eagle, or traditional devices that are key areas showing wear.

No doubt the coin has been cleaned/whizzed in the past, but I'm thinking that (for NGC, at least) there's enough crust/retoning to allow the coin to grade...AU58 is my guess.

 

I can't see your vote, can you try again pls?

 

AU55 is my guess.

 

Unc Details. Looks like an industrial buffer was let loose on the obverse.

 

62

 

Au details improperly cleaned I see hairlining on both sides and a touch of wear I'd say au-58 details

 

Only 9 votes so far... nobody else? Come on...

 

UNC-Details, cleaned on the obverse

 

I don't know enough to make a guess but I will just say that ebay seller is great to deal with. I've had multiple good dealings with him.

 

I can second that, very professional seller with great coins! Give it a try, so many people got it 'wrong' already - if we agree that NGC got it 'right' ;-)

 

MS 60? Die problems? It's tough that's a very small coin and I have never owned one.

 

It's a tough one I know and until now 91.7% of you disagree with NGC

 

...and the winner is DENNIS (d.t.menace). Congrats, well done. NGC = AU-55
