For me, it looks like about AU55 (rub on cheek), possibly AU details.

Looks like definite wear on the right leg, breast plate, and cheek, and lots of surface marks. I'd say AU-53, possibly straight grade.

It is definitely AU. The surfaces just look odd, as in they look both cleaned and not cleaned at the same time. There are a lot of scuffs and scratches, and the halos around the devices suggest an overdipping. I would pass, and would only consider it as a cheap hole filler if it looks like the photos.

AU-58, agree the obverse surfaces look messed with in some way.

The more I look at it,
can it be PROOF Details?

This coin could be a circulated and cleaned Proof. I would have to see it in person to make that call. It is is a Proof, almost all of the Proof surface as been destroyed, especially on the reverse.
At any rate it has a rub on the obverse devices and many marks in the field. As such can't be called "as struck" and there rate a 60 grade be it Mint state or Proof.

Baggy AU. Wear = AU-58 Marks = AU-50 So, AU-53 that I'll price near Uncirculated and sleep like a baby after a trip to the bank. LOL.
How did Proof get into this thread?

Agree - not a proof imho, just a banged up 58.

Thanks for the comments. I believe this to be a business strike with perhaps a beat up semi-prooflike obverse.
I'd love for it to be a proof -- what a plot twist that would be!

Believe it or not, this coin is a very heavily cleaned Proof piece. That's why I mentioned "Proof."   |
