    I hate to say it but to be it looks to have been cleaned [notice the parallel lines on the obverse and may not be gradeable], also it has some greenish blue to it on ER of AMERICA which may be PVC damage?

    It seems the streaks go along the entire obverse. But I cannot see any on the reverse. I dont know if its been cleaned then. But some of the better grading companys will grade it with the caveat being ''cleaned''. At least ms-63. Real nice tho.

    I would grade it AU MS Details...NET XF45.

    The scratch on the reverse will keep it out of a slab. Pics are too small to say for sure but it looks like it has MS details.

    It's a nice looking coin...I'd guess maybe AU58 lightly cleaned.

    I agree with GD about the scratch keeping it out of a slab and I think it looks AU to me. I'm seeing some wear on the high points of the reverse.

    spock1k, my personal recommendation if you're looking for a high grade coin like that on the internet is to only buy one that's certified.

    yes i completely agree otherwise the only thing one loses is the money :(

    My first thought upon seeing the coin was that it was counterfeit. It looks too cartoonish -- but it could be just the photo/scan...

    The above notwithstanding, I would grade the coin AU details, cleaned/scratched, net XF.

    Regardless, unless I could get a price commensurate with the above grade and a good return policy, this is an auction/sale I would run away from -- there are much better examples to be had. Patience, Spock....Mike
