AU-50. O-110 seems right.

Nice coin. I'd grade it AU-53.

Some flat areas on the high points; even and attractive toning.
AU50.

AU-53 assuming that luster in hand is a bit better than shown in the photos.

The detail looks AU but the coin appears stripped of it's original patina and likely dipped several times. I doubt PCGS will grade this coin problem-free and if they do it will likely be silently net-graded to XF for the surfaces that are void of "life".

I'm sorry to say that most experienced collectors do not want coins with this appearance.

I agree with BH1964, it's got the details of a low AU but the it's likely taken quite a few dips. Please don't misinterpret my response as mean-spirited but I don't believe PCGS will straight grade it and even if they did, it's not I coin that I'd want in my collection.

If you're happy with it, though, that's what matters.

Thanks for all the responses and the widely varying opinions.

It was PCGS AU Details - Cleaned. I'm happy with the coin as it looks better in person than my pics can show.
