<p>[QUOTE=&quot;samclemens3991, post: 26563767, member: 82181&quot;]OK, first up.&nbsp; I collected pretty much nothing but Seated coins for over 35 years.&nbsp; I have looked at around 30,000 to 40,000 coins either in hand or in picture.&nbsp; I have seen 3 that MIGHT be original and all 3 were rather unattractive.&nbsp; now that we have dispensed with &quot;original&quot; here is my breakdown coin this coin.&nbsp; the basement is Choice 45 and it could easily go to high AU depending on actual luster in hand.&nbsp; The coin has a secondary toning from being previously dipped that I would rate as fairly attractive.&nbsp; Make special note of the lighter, whitish luster that halos most of the design.&nbsp; In particular that little notch in between Liberty&#039;s arm and the pole.&nbsp; THAT is what you can call original mint luster and I prize it very highly when it comes to these coins.&nbsp; I do not see any signs of harsh cleaning, polishing, or tooling so I cannot fathom why thios would not straight grade.&nbsp; just my opinions.&nbsp; james[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
