    I got this at auction and liked the appearance of this coin, possibly underrated? Not a perfect coin but looking IMHO original:

    In hand, looks a bit different but good. GTG if you like but it’s raw now. Probably get it slabbed. I took a tilt view because somebody asked about obverse field to right of Miss Liberty - which looks good actually EA999480-892C-4B76-84A3-C4EC69C39663.jpeg 14EAAEFB-7A1D-4E42-A618-06C15F2A0990.jpeg 6384A786-9F59-483F-9902-764A270FEDB6.jpeg

    In hand, I simply can not see a 55. IMHO, worst case is 58 although VERY little wear - the thighs under mag appear more like contact on old paper. The last tilt picture was attempting to show that. This coin has a beautiful UNDIPPED original luster into the devices.

    I agree with 58, if you just see some high point wear and a few field luster breaks. Looks nice!
