AU53. Looks all original. Just a beautiful coin to find in this condition

Nice sharp coin. AU-53 only because of lack of luster.

I'm going to be honest and say I felt AU-50 tops on this one. Probably way off but that's the feeling I get from it. That being said, I can see paying AU-55+ money for it due to the un-be- -lievable eye appeal. Definitely a green bean candidate.

I'll go with AU-50. I would not be surprised if it graded 1-2 grades higher. A beautiful original looking coin!  |

I'll be the minority here and say EF45, as that was my first thought, the coin looks like it could go AU pretty easily too. The cheek and neck area look almost MS but I see wear on the hair above the ear and scuffs in the fields.

westcoin called it. Good example of PCGS' luster requirement for AU not being met. An NGC 50 or even 53 downgraded by PCGS for lack of luster. Not that I disapprove of the grade, it's just conservative. Thanks for the guesses and comments!  |

I compared it to a 1838 half dollar which I had posted a while back that eventually graded PCGS AU-50. Your coin has less wear but less luster than mine. I had guessed they would have about offset one another and graded the same as mine with a possibility of slightly higher because of the stronger detail. The grade looks a little low but not absurdly.

Just went with my first thought and gut feeling, I almost said AU53 after re-examining the coin, but felt the scuffs and lack of luster to me looked like an EF45. Actually a pretty tough call on this coin, and one series I really like but have only handled a few in my coin dealing days, and only 1 in my collection that is cleaned/polished. Glad I followed my gut feeling (it's usually right) as I read through the others guesses I thought what am I missing that they're not? Surprised myself on this one actually. A good coin for the guess the grade game! "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
