What a terrific coin!
Frosted surfaces on devices and motto seem essentially undisturbed. There might be enough rub on Liberty's knee, bust, and head to dictate an AU grade but I'm voting mint state. Fields look proof like which makes the many small contact marks more obvious. MS-62, with excellent eye appeal.

AU-58. I have a feeling it is in an MS-61 holder.

The mirror surfaces really accentuates the marks. I can see this as an MS-63 PL.

I don't see any wear, just some marks from mis-handling. MS-61.

The coin is on the fence between AU and MS. The fields are nasty for an MS coin, so I'll stick with an AU-58.

AU58. Many of you suggested it was MS which perhaps explains the price tag of $100,000 on a rare coins website of which name I have actually forgotten within two days  , but you can take my word for it.  |

Rare Coin Wholesalers has the coin listed for $100,000. An 1871-cc PCGS AU 58 CAC sold a few days ago at a Heritage Signature sale for $84,000.

I was a touch lower (AU55) in my guess but the price would suggest the PL (which I guessed) is where the money should be, even if the PL missing from the holder. I checked PCGS price guide and note they don't list a PL for the 1871-CC yet they do for only a few other coins, all of which are Philadelphia issues, strange.  https://www.PCGS.com/prices/detail/...des-25-60/msA nice coin, but for $100K there are a lot of other coins I'd rather have, and if I had to spend the $100K on a single coin, I still feel the same. Too boring even if it's rare, give me something like an early colonial coin or a neat pattern instead.  "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
