I like it because the red brown color and slightly impaired luster in the range of low mint state MS62. The reverse seems to have some splash on it. If it is removable, this will be great.

MS-55, this is one I'd have to see in hand, is there any cartwheel luster? ....too hard to judge from photos. That is an EXCELLENT example with a strong reverse.

I wonder the contaminant on the reverse could be stripped or washed away. Not a "contaminant", these are stains either from unintentional exposure to something or from a poor conservation (leaning toward the later since the obverse has a bit of corrosion at 9 o'clock). Those are areas where the original patina has been removed. You cannot remove something that has already been removed. Edited by BadThad

I'm in the AU club as it stand with the pics. I Would have to see it in hand. Very nice coin and reverse strike for the date. |

Have to agree - pics (especially the obverse) suggest AU.

My guess is ex-45 based on obverse wear

This is what looks like in hand. The color of original picture is off.   |

It is hard to see in picture. The cartwheel is not damaged for both sides.

Tough coin to grade. I am between high AU (55/58) and low MS (61/62). 25-S is notorious for poor strikes, so luster is probably what determines it in my book.

The cartwheel is slightly disrupted by the spot on the reverse. It is full on the obverse. I guess this qualify as AU.  |

Looking at the new pics, I might have to go MS-62BN on this coin. I'd be tempted to see what PCGS says.

Quote:By TPG's standards, that coin probably won't grade cleanly due to the questionable color on the reverse. However it is a good looking coin, one in which I would go a high AU. The reverse strike is very strong, its usually a mushy strike on most examples. I agree with kookoox10. There are two spots on reverse, where patina is gone. The coin either net grades to high AU or MS60 details. It is too risk to buy coins like such. Edited by mdrosophila
