Is everyone else seeing this as a MS FSB coin? There's a ton of detail and some luster peeking out from the toning but it's a tough call for me. I was thinking of grading it because I really like it's eye appeal.

Has the appearance of dipped/cleaned, missing luster from these pictures.
Even though it can be full band, it would likely get a detail grade.

I would save money for the next one for grading.

If you have the coin, can you post additional pics, clear and cropped outside of the holder. Difficult to judge through the 2x2. Tentative Low-Mid AU.

I think everyone saying AU are correct. I just had it out of the 2X2 before I saw Ty2020b's reply and there's no cartwheel on it at all.

AU50 upper and middle bands look split. Sharp strike.

I think the lack of any luster or light gold tone will hold it to AU-50.
