I dont know this is a hard coin to grade cause of the pictures try putting a white cloth over the lamp next time. assuming that that thing on her cheak is just from the lighting i would call it mint state not an au but i just work for a coin dealer so what do i know! although i have been offered a job with NGC so i get to go to sarasota in september to check it out. that will be cool! just curious what did it grade?
Sorry, all the coins I'm been showing are RAW coins, you guess is as good as mine on what this coin would grade out with a TPG. Thanks for your commit will try this out next time I take some pictures.
The coin looks somewhat dipped and/or wiped to me but it may just be the pictures! The grade is going to be a tough call due to the lighting but it appears to be AU-58 to MS-60. Is that damage around the the "D" in DOLLAR or is it little raised bumps? If the latter, then you probably have a VAM and the coin was struck with a pitted Die! Frank
