BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 05/22/2013 10:10 pm Thanks for all the grades and comments. PCGS said AU58. The technical grade based strictly on surface preservation is closer to AU53 IMO. The 58 grade is a bit of a gift for good color and luster. I believe AU55 would have been the best compromise. Not complaining though, it did sell for 53 money and I was happy to buy it for that price. Here's a link to the auction if interested: http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleN...&lotNo=28883 ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9794 Posts	Posted 05/22/2013 10:24 pm This particular coin is a good lesson in buying coins with only a static photo to go buy, and no return policy offered, walk away. This one I'd bet I'd get in hand but I was sure the spots everyone was seeing as rub (actually were rub) I thought were just toning breaks. Great study piece BH1964 - especially considering there is a $500.00 difference between my wrong guess and the actual guess. Though if I was buying it I could see PCGS's grade assigned, I still think it's nicer than AU53 at least an AU58 as you also think, but from 53 to 58 it's only a $50 difference.
