<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2445303, member: 1892&quot;]The obverse rim cuds are definitive of (per Fortin) Obverse 3 and F-105a (since both cuds are present). From a technical standpoint it&#039;s either a good XF45 or a weak AU50. The surfaces would almost certainly be adjudicated as unoriginal by a TPG, either called Cleaned or Environmental Damage, but in the grand scheme of things it&#039;s a really nice example which wouldn&#039;t lose the kind of value a harshly cleaned or damaged piece would. I&#039;m usually unafraid to conserve coins, but this is one I wouldn&#039;t touch. If your intent is to get it to a TPG, contemplate routing it through their conservation service first. They won&#039;t touch it if they don&#039;t think they can improve it, and the result might just sneak into a &quot;straight&quot; slab which (in PCGS plastic) would likely mean a $500 coin. Any knowledgeable collector of the series would throw something north of $200 at you right_now for it, assuming it&#039;s as nice in-hand as your images seem to indicate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
