I'm no copper guy, so I'll guess xf45, but au-55 if there is more luster than visible in the photos. A really nice looking example of a...
Nice images, Hobo! I'm looking for a copy stand sturdy enough to hold a Nikon D-40 with a Nikkor 105 macro. What kind are you using?
I voted MS63, then I noticed...oh well.....
It looks like a very high AU to me, but given the scarcity and the beauty of this coin- virtually unmarked!- I bet it gets MS63. That's a stunner!
I see it's in a newer NGC holder- rumor has it grading has tightened a bit- 64?
Eduard, you have a knack for spotting 'nice for grade' coins! That's a beauty, thanks for sharing the photos.

At least 3 of the sellers listed in the o.p. routinely have large multipage ads in CW. My experience with 1 of the 3 on multiple occasions is that...
With the second set of photos, I'm pretty sure it's au. I see dark metal and wear on the reverse high points. Maybe 50-53, depending on the luster.
