Gidjit, I've only been collecting for a few years and I don't profess to have expertise at grading, but trying to learn.

But, based on what I've absorbed, I would guess AU-55.

It's a beauty. No significant wear, that I can see. But there is evidence of contact on the high surfaces.

Is there a small die crack at about 7 o'clock on the reverse?

I've noticed your sales on ebay. You sure have offered a lot of nice old coppers.
