    I purchased this in a batch of Morgan’s. I looked it up and know it’s worth at least $65 but I’m curious what it might grade at? Seems like it’s in fairly good shape. I looked it up on Vamworld and it also looks like the S is tilted. Not sure, what are your thoughts?

    It looks to be around VF, but it is also cleaned. It can either receive a "cleaned" grade of it will knock it down a few grade points.

    Thank you. I did not clean it. I know better! Lol How can you tell that it was cleaned?

    The surfaces near details are a darker color than the areas that were flat and easy to clean.

    Yes the cheek and obverse fields are too shiny. Definitely cleaned. My initial thought was to question authenticity a bit, but can't really put my finger on anything.

    Quick question for both me and the OP... Would carrying this around and allowing it to develop a new "skin" remove traces of the "cleaning"?

    It will not remove the traces of the cleaning but it will help to hide them.

    Definitely cleaned and questionable authenticity because of the appearance but thats probably just the damage done.

    The coin is authentic. I’ve dealt with fakes before.
