Just got this in the mail today. This one is tricky IMO

Bit of a 'woody'? AUish, but I could be had..........

 

I was in the AU 58 club also but again maybe fished in... Very sweet looking woodster!

 

First impression was EF for the obverse. The reverse boosted it to mid AU.

 

AU details questionable color

 

AU 55

 

24-D awesome.
Does the legit improper alloy mix straight grade?
AU-58

 

They do. But the TPG's dont like woodies and tend to grade them tougher.

 

I like it! AU-53

 

45 or 50

 

The reverse does show more wear.
Given the tougher grading on woodies, I would go down to AU-53.

 

Mid-AU is where I'm at, too, but I'm wanting extra for this one...

 

I'm in the AU 55 ballpark.
Weak strike obverse, but unsure bout reverse.

 

Interesting guesses... answer will be revealed this evening.

 

Yes exactly. I'll give it a 45

 

I would say EF45 based on cheek and tie /shoulder area. But who knows these days.

 

Not as tricky as I thought but I would say it is 53 to 55 in my opinion. Some luster along the rim of the coin that my photography skills failed to capture. So here it is

 

NICE COIN!

I almost went 45 after looking again. I usually judge EF-AU by how flattened the cheek and wheat grains are....but those grains are hard to see in the OP. The cheek looks more EF but it's a 24D (all pretty weak there). Great woody you snagged!
