The AU grades are pretty much about how much luster is remaining. That is very hard to judge from photos and in this case I think could go from...
The Fugio is very wholesome. Nice one! I don't collect Buffs but that one has a decent strike and nice color.
total WAG: 64?
I don't see any wear. Strike looks pretty good too, a tad weak on the curl over the ear and the eagle to the left of the shield but by no means a...
I'm with those who say that the photos probably don't do the coin justice. I have a very colorful 75-p in AU that always looks drab in my images,...
assuming it is genuine-- I think it is but can't be totally sure from the images-- It looks cleaned, scratched and damaged with a deformed rim...
Yes. google "Houck's Panacea" which is a very sought after counterstamp, usually on bust half dollars.
Great find, wcoins! I bet John Kraljevich would be very interested in this gold dollar and the author of the thread should contact him!(I was...

Thanks for bringing back this thread. Nice pair of Roosies!
I finally have a Pan-Pac! This arrived in the mail today. For some reason these often tone up with aqua blue and rose colors that I really...

To me it looks AU and not very well struck for a P mint coin. that gray flaky looking stuff near the rims bothers me too.
Cool gift. I'd rather have that than a watch, too! Mat's '72 looks to have very nice surfaces and patina.
thanks Vic! I really like your coin. I don't find the scratch too distracting, more important to me is that both Liberty and the eagle are...
Nice dollar, Vic. Can you post your pics to the Seated Dollar thread also? We need a 60-O on there! thanks.
The reverse is more of an even gray. As I see no signs of it being cleaned, I think the coin was kept in an old style coin board for many years....
