Smat - probably just my poor lighting. A good deal of luster on it. I do not want to VC this one as I like the current state and skin.

Did look at all the RPDs, none that I can validate.

That is tough one Adam. This summer in general has been amazing with 17 Seated coins and close to 40 Chinese Cash coins. But honestly probably one of the spills. Largest ever was 17 coins from 1910's thru 1930's. They just kept coming out of the hole one after another: 8 silver and 9 copper. Wish more people would loose all their $#!+ as opposed to just one at a time.

I think it could straight grade, may need a little love. AU-50 shot 53.

I would say AU-55. Very nice dirt find. If you want it graded you should send it into ANACs. They do a great conservation.
