<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikem2000, post: 1354686, member: 30574&quot;]Mark is correct.&nbsp; It is without a doubt a O-122.&nbsp; You can attrib this coin by star 7 alone.&nbsp; Look how the top point of&nbsp; star 7 points right in between the milling and the opposite point, splits the head band.&nbsp; O-122 is the only variety like that.&nbsp; After that you can confirm with other diags and you will see they all match up.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the grade, I would need to go with AU-55.&nbsp; While it is difficult sometimes to tell the difference on a CBH between wear and weak strikes, the left wing, drapery, breast,&nbsp; clasp, top of the tuban seem to show actual wear.&nbsp; In hand you can look for luster breaks in these areas.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the cleaning issue, yes it has been cleaned.&nbsp; It is a 180 year old silver coin that is showing signs of wear. It should be darker, that is just the way Chemistry works.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
