Many many thanks for your opinions - I had forgotten what ANCS had graded this coin. Thinking it was graded AU53, I was happy to read most of your opinions were in line.

I was therefore a bit surprised when I pulled it out of the box and saw the actual ANACS grade was EF45.

I'm thinking AU-53, maybe 55 if the luster is there. Should easily upgrade in my non-expert opinion.

Not one of the really old ANACS holders since it has a 19 unit barcode.
