I'd guess AU Details - Cleaned. If it graded problem-free then it could have been netted as low as 45. It has AU+ meat with most of its luster and all its patina chemically removed.

I'll say it graded AU-50. Most of the luster seems to have been worn away with only a little bit remaining around the stars, lettering, portrait, and eagle. Unless darkly toned, I think the graders would be looking for a little more luster before giving it a higher grade.

I agree with AU details and most definitely cleaned. But, you see a lot of older 19th century stuff in "good" holders as market acceptable that look like that.

I think I am seeing traces of luster around the peripheries and a nice amount of detail remaining. I would grade it nice and AU50.
The reverse may have been cleaned at some point.

AU details, the photo does not portray a wow to me.

Looks like it was silently net graded at least 10 points and maybe more. It does not appear harshly or abrasively cleaned and was probably a good buy at XF40 money.
Considering this is a ~$200 coin in XF40 and ~$600 in AU55? I bet you did pretty well.

while  I was late to the grading party here I think it might go EF45, maybe AU50 but not much higher. Hopefully if regraded it doesn't get a dreaded details also.

I am not going to have it regraded. I may have it attributed to GR-12.

Nice coin.... I still think XF45 but PCGS is sometimes hard on Bust and Seated coins. At least they didn't net grade it for cleaning. |
