| The gouge on and around the cheek look bad enough to detail it. It does have nice color. If it's MS then UNC Details - Damaged. |

The coin went for $36,300 including the 10% buyers premium.

Thanks Steve. Greysheet in 66RB CAC Green is $26.4k for this one and it's guaranteed to hit 66RB CAC Green. The seller is likely a bit disappointed but it still did okay. I expected it to hit $50k though.
The result pales in comparison to the MS65+RD CAC Green piece that ended last Sunday realizing $49,496 w/Buyer's premium. Greysheet for it is $28.8k 65RD CAC Green (w/o the +) Here's that coin: https://www.greatcollections.com/Co...gle-Eye-Seal
Looking at the Great Photos side-by-side I prefer the RB piece. The uncertainty in the financial markets may have hurt but you never know. Here they are, RB top.

I think it could reach MS66. The strike is a touch weak on the reverse and the luster probably keeps it below 67. You really need 67 to even consider grading and 67+ makes it worthwhile. It doesn't look that good but it is very nice.
Check out the windows on Monticello on this 67+. This is a $200 coin.

Thanks everyone. Where do you see the wear that makes it AU in your eyes? Jacrispies--interesting assessment, why do you say 60 (with the implication that it doesn't really deserve MS)?
A true AU58 should have only luster breaks on the high points and/or fields, "wear" may not be noticeable. This coin exhibits turbulence in the fields and has luster breaks across the high points. I think it's a high AU coin that has likely been cleaned. It still looks pretty good but not MS good imo. As always ymmv. |

I agree with BadThad's comments. It does need to be authenticated. There are spots on the rims that don't look squared off, particularly on the reverse from about 10:00 to 3:00 looks rounded. Same thing on the obverse from around 12:00 to 3:00.
I hope it is a matte proof but it could just be a very, very nice business strike. |
