Guess the grade 1873 Open - 3

I like oddities, anything out of the ordinary or makes it special in some way, this is a pretty good example.

Okay I'll bite: VF 20

 

It looks like it has a lot of luster, so it must be an AU-55 or higher. It's not Unc. The trouble is the photo does not show the hair detail above Ms. Liberty's ear. It's got to be there, or there is a serious issue.

This one is graded MS-63.

 

I agree this is an oddity - when I first saw the obverse it was like okay VF then scrolling down I see what looks like a very nice reverse that could easily be high AU to low MS. So scrolling up and down I see luster hiding about the coin. So going to guess (and purely a guess) AU-50.

 

XF-45

 

Are you going to reveal the grade?

 

Yes, here you go

 

As posted by @johnmilton and his example, this one falls a little short on luster
and i think that,s the reason its an A/U-58 versus a MS one.

 

If that obverse is 58 I'm an uptown neurosurgeon in a big red Mercedes.

And undoubtedly "soooo interesting" to adoring women.

 

This is graded AU-58. It's in an old NGC holder, and I agree with the grade.

 

I agree too. But not with the OP's coin.

 

Grading is very subjective, this TPG says one thing and another say,s something else
under graded, over graded all part of the wold of coins...LOL
