mrak Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 01/29/2022 10:57 pm Would've thought higher than AU, I don't see any traces of wear on high points, what should I be looking at? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2004 Posts	Posted 01/30/2022 05:51 am I'm at Au as well. Looks like it has taken some hits in the fields and the leaves are not detailed. Could be because of a weak strike but all the other devices look strong. Toning is pleasing but lack of luster is an issue. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/30/2022 10:10 am On review, agree this has been cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
mrak Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 01/30/2022 11:34 am My pictures aren't great. The originals make the coin look dull and flat but it is quite reflective in hand. This image may help show that a little, but clarity isn't great. The toning helps eye appeal, but there is no cartwheel effect. Should I take that as a giveaway the coin was dipped at some point?
