Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5689 Posts	Posted 08/25/2016 12:02 am XF-45. The rim nicks aren't too distracting. Report this Post to the Staff

Andrew99 CCF Advertiser United States 1533 Posts	Posted 08/25/2016 09:52 am I don't call coins AU with no luster. I think its XF-45, but its been cleaned, which is why there is no luster. The high points and the fields are much brighter than the protected areas. I think this coins was very dark and someone tried to brighten it up. I wouldn't be surprised if there are hairlines in the fields. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18741 Posts	Posted 08/25/2016 1:34 pm very nice coin. I have it at AU50. it may have been cleaned a long time ago and recovered nicely from it. in any case it would be market acceptable. I dont think the little rim dings would warrant a details grade.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/25/2016 4:53 pm Agree full AU detail, and TPG would probably concur, but I'm too old to accept a coin entirely devoid of any original surfaces as higher than EF. Report this Post to the Staff
