<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 366593, member: 6036&quot;]My thoughts, before reading any other posts :</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>PCGS <b>AU58 BN</b>. EAC XF45.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This coin has many strong points. Great planchet, strong strike - even the star centers are good. Few marks.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Slight rub on the lower locks of hair and high points of leaves. It&#039;s a shame that prevents an MS grade - this one might go MS64.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My guess is it was lightly cleaned long ago and has retoned. That, plus the &quot;partial eclipse&quot; toning on the obverse probably knocks it down just a bit in EAC thinking.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Another great example of why a strong AU coin is such excellent value - better eye appeal than low MS coins at a much lower price.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Wonderful coin, Mike ! So hard to find good coppers like this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
