Nice coin! AU 58?

 

Wow, nice. MS 62 beautiful coin.

 

Sweet type 2!

 

I can't tell if I am seeing strike weakness or wear. I guess 62.

 

+1

 

AU-58. Most of the field luster is gone, but the details are still very sharp.

 

I don't think so. I think the toning is obscuring some of the luster. It could go either way, as the coin is a slider, but I would go with MS on this one.

 

Straight grade means ....no details like the coin was cleaned or altered surfaces .

 

I'm in the MS house, thinking 61-62

 

Look at the areas around the stars, in front and behind the bust, and above the eagle. You can see a halo effect caused by the wearing away of luster.

 

Thanks Paddy.

 

Any time Dave you can always pm me also no worries

 

Going out on a limb but I think Ngc gave it a 61/62. Me 58 due to rims

 

Great looking coin! I have a terrible time judging luster on toned coins, I'll venture AU55.

 

I'm at AU55. My kinda coin!

 

58, which some would say is also 62 .....

 

Not my specialty, but I will go with AU58, though I suspect I might be low.

 

Technical grade of 58 due to rub, market graded to 61/62 for eye appeal as it has decent looking surfaces.
