<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 2333361, member: 7638&quot;]Thanks for all the guesses and comments.&nbsp; The assigned grade is.... AU58!</p><p>Some of you have very sharp eyes for spotting rub!&nbsp; I have a hard time doing that from photos.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you tilt the coin under a point source light (halogen, LED) the high point rub shows up as gray metal.&nbsp; It&#039;s very apparent on the bust, and there is a bit of rub in the left obv. field.&nbsp; On the rev, the only rub I can clearly see is on the eagle&#039;s shoulder.&nbsp; </p><p>When I look at the fields with my spiffy new Eschenbach loupe, I can see that the lines behind Liberty&#039;s head are mostly die polish.&nbsp; </p><p>Why is there more rub on the obv than the rev?&nbsp; I suspect the coin was in an album for a time, and people would rub a finger or thumb over the portrait. </p><p>It does not appear to have been dipped, has a better than average strike, and I look forward to&nbsp; having this coin for a while.&nbsp; Purchased from Typecoin on ebay as a B.O.&nbsp; Great service from this seller.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
