I bought this when commemorates were sold either as circulated or un-circulated. I looked for ones that looked nice. I am at a loss as how to determine which of the 11 grades of unc. that exist. PCGS has a nice photograde that makes grading circulated coins pretty easy, MS less easy. But when it comes to the commemorates I am at a loss. Any ideas?

Thanks

If you want to sell them then send to a grading service. If not protect and cherish them them.

Looks like it's been cleaned - too bad.

Man, that obverse looks like it's been harshly cleaned. I would say AU details for the grade. Great design though, love it!

That reverse has so much going on, I've been on the hunt for one for a while now.

Almost settled on one at a show this weekend but it just was not good enough.

Settled on a nice 21 Alabama
Rest in Peace

The letter "V" and "U" are the same in some alphabets.

Nice piece but unfortunately someone cleaned it. Definite wear on goddess Victory's head and right leg. AU-55 details.

Nice photos.

This lovely coin is lightly circulated ... but alas badly cleaned as well as evidenced by the straight line scratches.

I believe those who replied before me nailed it ... AU details, cleaned.

It has a nice strong strike, "Austin" and "Houston" names are well defined.
