I bought this when commemorates were sold either as circulated or un-circulated. I looked for ones that looked nice. I am at a loss as how to determine which of the 11 grades of unc. that exist. PCGS has a nice photograde that makes grading circulated coins pretty easy, MS less easy. But when it comes to the commemorates I am at a loss. Any ideas?
Thanks

If you want to sell them then send to a grading service. If not protect and cherish them them.

Looks like it's been cleaned - too bad.

Man, that obverse looks like it's been harshly cleaned. I would say AU details for the grade. Great design though, love it!

That reverse has so much going on, I've been on the hunt for one for a while now.  Almost settled on one at a show this weekend but it just was not good enough. Settled on a nice 21 Alabama Silver & Gold & and Everything else

Nice piece but unfortunately someone cleaned it. Definite wear on goddess Victory's head and right leg. AU-55 details.

Nice photos. This lovely coin is lightly circulated ... but alas badly cleaned as well as evidenced by the straight line scratches. I believe those who replied before me nailed it ... AU details, cleaned. David The ONLY owner of a CCF T-Shirt ..... prove me wrong with a photo!

It has a nice strong strike, "Austin" and "Houston" names are well defined.
