Great looking coin, and I agree with Razz, the large flat area at the top of the shield is virtually pristine.
Before I saw the assigned grade, my guess was EF40 also. Agree that the overall light look suggests an old cleaning, but doesn't detract and the...
I think it was kept in an old, high sulfur album. I found a few like that in my Dad's sdb. The album.. a folder, really, was disintegrating....
Thanks! I'm sure you'll have it, or one like it, some day.
I think the mark on the chin and the other scattered obv marks will keep it at 62.
I agree with MS details, looks like a fairly dense patch of hairlines in the right obv field and next to UNI on the rev. They don't come much...
I like the coin the cleaning does not seem obtrusive. As J.M. pointed out, for 130 there is only so much downside and it's a nice example of an...

I think that some of the marks on the lower cheek look like roller marks, which should not affect grade. but I'm staying at 64.
On #1 the flag of the 2nd 7 is definitely broader. on #2 it might be broader but hard to tell, but the "drumstick" of the 2nd 7 has a straight...
I see afew scattered marks on the cheek, average strike, neutral toning, and PL surfaces that bump up the eye appeal some. I'll guess 64PL...
