XF-45/au-50......

 

I'd say AU-50

 

I will go 50 full head (if there is such a designation for AU).

 

I'd say EF 45 FH

 

I'd say XF 45. Nice buy!

 

Looks AU-50.

 

It looks AU-something, but I can't tell from the photos if it's had a cleaning or not. If not, that's a very nice coin for the money.

 

Cleaned so XF-45 Details

 

That coin reminds me of one that a fellow coin talker smoked. It has that look.

 

That is exactly what i was thinking. I am going to call it au 55. I see only very slight wear on the high points, but the luster is impaired. I think that coin was over dipped and then cigar toned to hide the damage done from a heavy dipping.

 

You wouldn't be blowin' smoke up my.......never mind.

 

If I am interpreting the images correctly then I do not think it has been cleaned. It appears to be an AU with surface crud on it, but has not been cleaned.

 

Thanks for the input all. I agree with Tom in that I believe the coin is uncleaned. There are no hairlines and substantial luster remains. Possibly an old dip at one point, but the surfaces look pretty original.

With that said, I'm not confident it would make it into a problem free slab due to the hit(or impression) in the obverse field at 7 oclock(between the two stars). It's not too distracting, but it is definitely "there".

 

I'm not certain of that. I'd need more photos. The reverse especially seems wiped to me

 

Au58

 

The different colors in the background of the images make me wonder what the true color of the coin really is. I would guess 45 or 50 on the grade.

 

That color is pretty common for pictures of SQL's. You can see comparisions of it here. Unfortunately, i had to sell all the SQL's because of my ex-wife.
