    61. This is a strike issue more than wear.

    I went AU58. I think there's enough disturbance to warrant slightly circulated.

    I see what appear to be circulation disturbances in the fields, but I don’t see any on the devices (lighting/shadows could be throwing me off). There is sufficient non-cleaning hairlining to limit this coin to MS-62.

    I went with 62. Like was mentioned above looks more like strike and die detail/deterioration issues than wear to me. Is that a RPD on the 1? Interesting coin with the die clash, strike oddity on the left wreath, and the Longarce or Die polished / doubling on AMERICA. Lots going on here. Will also say the color doesn’t quite look right. Like an aggressive dip or something. Overall though a very cool and nice coin.

    Affirmative. This is the same variety I sold to @Paddy54 not too long ago.

    Dang, I was too late, but I did guess 62 before I saw the holder.
