<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 4515257, member: 10461&quot;]The coin looks to me to be in the AU (50-58) spectrum.&nbsp; Note the light wear over Liberty&#039;s ear, which makes this an About Uncirculated coin, just shy of Mint State. It might have been dipped (lightly cleaned), but may be market-acceptable in that regard.&nbsp; Doesn&#039;t look too bad to me, though the luster appears somewhat subdued in the photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d say it is a decent example (not fantastic, but certainly not bad either), and I would call it AU55, personally.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.numismedia.com/cgi-bin/coinprice.cgi?script=mordlr&amp;searchtype=any&amp;searchtext=fmv&amp;search=any&amp;nmcode=15916000&amp;guide=prices&amp;guide2=pricesms" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.numismedia.com/cgi-bin/coinprice.cgi?script=mordlr&amp;searchtype=any&amp;searchtext=fmv&amp;search=any&amp;nmcode=15916000&amp;guide=prices&amp;guide2=pricesms" rel="nofollow">Here are the Numismedia prices</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>In AU55, it lists for $44 (retail).</p><p><br /></p><p>As to &quot;carbon spots&quot;, I see only the one fleck by the O in ONE, and I don&#039;t think it is that egregious.&nbsp; You could try working at it with a wooden toothpick or a hardened rose thorn, which shouldn&#039;t scratch the coin if you&#039;re careful.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not specialized enough to give you VAM information- die variety minutiae is not my thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
