I wouldn't touch one of these raw in that borderline area. Looks EF40 to me.

That's the grade I think PCGS would offer it. So, the price on the flip is a little more than 3x the coin's actual value.

XF40 conservatively.

$300 max is what I'd give him.

Thank you for all the opinions. It seems everyone thinks it is basically an XF. If someone were to purchase the coin for XF value, do you think it would be worthwhile to send it in, in hopes of it sneaking into the AU range. Does it have any chance at all or is it an obvious XF to everyone.

The coin looks like it may have been cleaned. Could be a minor and old cleaning, but cleaning nonetheless. How much would this be worth to someone if it were slabbed XF details cleaned?.......OR I suppose AU details cleaned (if the seemingly impossible comes true.)

I am familiar with this seller (gus*******) and have purchased morgans from him/her. Half were cleaned. And I was able to return them(shipping at my expense)for a refund. This was over three years ago. Look at the recent feedback and make sure the seller has a reasonable return policy (14 days preferred). If problem-free this is easily XF with a shot at AU. It's very important for you to understand that PCGS, NGC and/or ANACs will give it great scrutiny due to the key date/mintmark and the large price jump between XF-AU.

This coin would seem to have AU50 details if compared to the PCGS, photograde website.
Does anyone agree with that accessment ?

It seems most of the reponses on the grade are being colored by the price jump between xf and au rather than the actual details that the coin presents ...

No way I see an AU coin. XF all day long.

My first thought is XF, but I am aware of the C3 reverse in that year(s); with a "mushier" than normal reverse. On the other hand Superdave is way more knowledgeable than I am.

I am being deliberately hard on this coin, based specifically on images of similar coins in PCGS slabs. What hesgut pictured here is no better than EF45 to PCGS, and the price differential of their slabs is worth more than a 5-point difference in an NGC slab.
