Luster is v nice, edge is reeded all the way around, v clean, no scratches. I'd take a guess as low MS or AU58, but just a guess. What say ye? Report this Post to the Staff

BuckeyeCoinGuy Pillar of the Community United States 711 Posts	Posted 08/07/2016 09:21 am Great coin especially to be found in the wild like that. Don't doubt your AU grade one bit though at first glance. Great looking fields on the front for a coin that has survived in the wild now for 66 years. Don't want to guess first without any coffee in me, so I will pass along this instead. Here is a link to PCGS Photograde to help you learn more about coin grading, not that we all don't love playing guess the grade as it keeps us sharp. http://www.PCGS.com/photograde/ Welcome aboard too.

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 08/07/2016 11:12 am Nice CRH find! I'm at AU58 as well. I would guess someone's collection got dumped based on this. There may be more where that came from. Report this Post to the Staff

fromms2244 Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 08/07/2016 7:55 pm I am tempted to say this would me a MS coin. The 50D is not known to have a ton of luster. It is a touch coin in the higher end of MS. Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 08/07/2016 7:57 pm AU-58 , This coin DID NOT circulate in the wild for 66 years . Has to be a recent collection dump not necessarily by the collector . Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 08/07/2016 11:37 pm I would think AU-58. Report this Post to the Staff

UltraRant Pillar of the Community Norway 1358 Posts	Posted 08/09/2016 05:07 am Agreeing with fromms: this coin doesn't have much luster by default. I guess MS-62 will do. Report this Post to the Staff
