    A capped bust half in ANACS OWH. Fairly thick toning. Slab says O-105. White lines are on the slab.
    Have fun!

    Isn’t AU a bit high? Are the smooth high points wear or a poor die?

    I'd be at 55. Unusual how that high-point wear appears so "white." But I do like the coin.

    Y'all are pretty good! here is the grade:

    I took a closer look at the bright spots on the high points. To me they look like areas that did not strike up, ie, "bare" planchet, as they have very sharp edges and none of the grayness I associate with wear. Maybe they are somehow resistant to toning, I don't know.
    Thanks for all the comments and guesses!

    53 is a bit low but what can I say its in a old soap box holder au 53 sounds right it would probably get a 55 today.
