westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7615 Posts	Posted 03/22/2026 2:30 pm Lightly circulated high-end AU 55 to 58 coin to these old eyes of mine. An in-hand examination might yield a different opinion. As it looks now I wouldn't be ashamed to own it! Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15398 Posts	Posted 03/22/2026 3:18 pm Not a fan of the dark toning, but I do enjoy the well struck lightly circulated characteristics. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5823 Posts	Posted 03/22/2026 4:07 pm Pictures somewhat out of focus, so I think it can be high AU - low MS, like others I too am not a fan of dark toning. Edited by macmercury 03/22/2026 4:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

smat45 Pillar of the Community United States 2333 Posts	Posted 03/23/2026 07:14 am Nice thumb and rims. Just a couple of ticks on the obverse. She was pulled out of circulation early. I would have to have her conserved. MS-63. smat Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18649 Posts	Posted 03/23/2026 08:56 am its interesting how both sides toned like this. this is late stage toning and takes quite a long time to get there macmercury the photos photos are little out of focus but not that bad. I too am not a fan of the dark toning. if its MS its impossible to determine the amount of luster that remains in these photos vs light glare. based on the photos it looks very subdued or missing. I'm going to say MS62 or AU58 and I'm leaning towards the AU grade Report this Post to the Staff
muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7188 Posts	Posted 03/23/2026 12:47 pm I believe it was uncirculated when I purchased it but it was shipped in loose tissue paper that caused a slight rub, AU 58 to me. Report this Post to the Staff
