Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/16/2016 4:37 pm Might be a "commercial Unc", but banged around as it is, I would probably give it an AU-58. Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 04/16/2016 7:59 pm Looks AU53 or so. Not a lot of luster and pretty banged up. I've seen such pieces graded MS61 but cannot see that piece going MS. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6449 Posts	Posted 04/16/2016 8:02 pm Obvious wear on cheek, hair, and coronet and diminished luster in the fields. Bag marks are consistent with actual use in circulation. Once upon a time a coin was expected to have half the luster remaining to qualify as AU but that standard seems to have gone away. Nevertheless, I'd call this one AU-50, no higher. Report this Post to the Staff
