She is a beauty. I haven't graded a US coin in a long time but I'll give this one a shot. With the slightly porous surface and wear I'd grade it at EF-40.

Wow, that is a dream coin!
At first glance it looks AU, but I'll say EF-45 due to the hair. I hope it didn't get details due to scratches...

Absolutely incredible coin! Boy, we don't these very much on this Forum! Wow! I think this is an EF-45, but I think the rarity and excellent condition will bump it to AU-50. I could look at this beauty all day long!  . |

When I first saw it I thought about Fine.Am I missing something?
Grading shouldn't get softer the older the coin. Its the way it was minted, these coins were minted with a screw press so there is no way the details would be like the coins like we are used to seeing day in and day out that is why it seems the grading is lax on these older coins, the details were never great and if they look mushy when BU they will still look that way at AU |

AU55 from NGC I think it's really AU probably lower than 55 though 50/53.
