AU details cleaned. Still showing frost in the eagles wings but no luster.

AU53
there is hallowing and embedded crud around most of the devices indicating a light cleaning. I think it was enough to remove most, if not all, of the original luster. its borderline, but I think it would most like likely receive a details designation.
as you are well aware, photos can be deceptive. there are some marks in front of the neck and the jaw that may be more noticeable in hand. I dont believe it was harshly cleaned. I think someone just tried to clean it up a little too much

Cleaned or not, this may be a Top 100 VAM. It could be an overdate, and may possibly be 1880-CC VAM-5. Depending on the asking price, it may be worth checking out the VAM before passing on the coin.  |

From the photos, touched up with soap and water at worst. It should straight grade au53.

Here are a couple more photos of the seller's images. The area around the I in AMERICA has been recently been mess with. The example has low eye appeal and there are lots of 1880 CC to choose from in the AU and low MS grades. I agree pass.   Edited by Slider23

Yep. With this just being a VAM-9 and with the new photos, I agree that it should be a pass.
