Overly dipped. No better than XF-45 details.
Rest in Peace

It's always a tough call from scanned images but you my be pleasantly surprised when you receive this. I'd say low AU details with surfaces tbd.

Defiantly au cleaned. I have to say based on the traces of black gunk on this specimen I would have cleaned it too. I have had coins in the past that we're basically worthless without being cleaned. I know there are die hard never clean a coin but if no one will buy it as is sometimes you do what you have to just like this. If it was covered in that black stuff Johnny might have passed right by it.
Rest in Peace

I received the coin. I had my expectations low, expecting a harshly cleaned coin....and was therefore pleasantly surprised. I believe the coin has been recently professionally dipped....meaning it was definitely dipped, but done in a way without killing the luster or making the surfaces look unnatural(other than the white look). The coin does not have excessive parallel hairlines, or the "glossy" look of a polished/scrubbed coin. I think it has a decent chance of making it into a righteous TPG slab. I would grade it AU-50. It has the luster to go 53+(strong cartwheel affect on both sides), but too much wear on the leg, breast face and reverse eagle breast and wing.
