No way is that an AT. That's a great circulation cameo, I love that look.

Cleaned and been around other coins or open to air, and has gained normal color back...

Nice piece.

Appears to have most of it's a original patina and should grade problem-free.

I feel like the obverse and reverse chatter possibly could have made the coin details.

I disagree. I think it would need more/deeper marks to grade details.

I agree Numisma. If anything I think this coin is a good canidate for resubmission. This coin was lowballed in spite of minor field issues. The detail is terrific, shield is full, prominent facial features & just a trace amount of rub on the knee & right wing.

Hold on, the coin did receive a numeric grade from PCGS.

Most likely cleaned a long time ago, but it has retoned nicely. Nice coin!

I am glad this coin received such great reviews, I like it myself, and will probably purchase it (depending on $).

I am wary of PCGS on the subject of cleaning, as I was recently burned on a coin that had been dipped, and did not cross to NGC. I learned that PCGS may overlook dipping, while NGC does not. When I read their grading standards, this seems to be the case. Live and learn I guess. Just about every thread I have read indicated that PCGS exercises stricter standards. I don't have enough experience to make such a judgement, but it was not true in this case.

Anyway, thank you for the responses. I do like this coin!
