<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 4902343, member: 19165&quot;]Assumption: all I have to judge is the single set of photos provided. </p><p><br /></p><p>Given this set of pictures, this coin has the look I associate with an AU coin. I see flattened high points (common on weakly struck coins).

Particularly, the obverse field in front of Liberty&#039;s face, and the reverse field above the eagle. Also, the eagle&#039;s body, and throughout the hair. </p><p><br /></p><p>All of these signs point to an AU coin. The disruptions are significant enough that I have to grade it AU-55. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, it&#039;s plausible that the areas I&#039;m seeing may be explained by other phenomenon and the grade may be much higher. After all, [USER=37839]@Morgandude11[/USER] has recently accused me of having a bad attitude. All I can do is describe the coin as I see it in the pics described, and be honest about what I&#039;m seeing. I won&#039;t sugarcoat it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
