[QUOTE="cdcda, post: 44568, member: 941"]Wow, quite the post indeed... 1. Hard to tell from the photo, but the coin does appear to have some toning which has dulled the lustre of the coin.

In terms of strike for this date/mint. 2. XF 3. AU cleaned. 4. Looks like AU and both cleaned and damaged. Hard to assign it a net grade. 5.
