    Howdy folks,

    Hope y'all are having a pleasant Sunday :) Continuing my GTG series based on new TrueViews I've received last week. Here is one of my oldest US coins. What do you think the grade is? For bonus points, try to deduce the assigned Overton number.

    Cheers!

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    Traces of wear evidenced by slight flattening of the hair, and interruptions in the luster on her cheek and breast. The right obverse field behind her hair also shows disturbance of luster. 20 years ago this would have been an AU-55, but today it would probably get an AU-58. Very attractive coin!

    Die cracks on the reverse and recutting on the obverse 5 make it an O-106a, a low R3.

    A bit too much wear for 58 IMO, so I will say AU55.

    Au 50. They tend to be really conservative on these especially without major luster
