might make XF45 but the coin would be tagged as details due to ED and a cleaning

I agree with XF. The reverse looks quite strong, but I, too, wonder about the cause of apparent distress on the obverse. I am tempted to offer a split grade of XF40/45 (obv/rev) but wonder whether a TPG will end up giving it XF details with cleaning or ED. The current Greysheet lists $60 for XF40 and $75 XF45 for what it's worth... Stay well, Diy89Nurm7 |

EF-45 details, environmental damage.

I see AU detail but lifeless surfaces. I'd suspect some kind of ED or an old chemical dip. Might look good in someone's album.

Failed efforts to clean the obverse leave this a details coin.

WOW! In my eyes that made a huge difference. I'll defer grading to the pros though. Two thumbs up!

I like it better, I would still call it XF Details ED because of the porous area behind the neck.

I'd have to agree with Slider, XF Details.
Great pictures also! But it's because your photos are great that I can see the porosity.
Regardless, as far as Details coins go, I've gone from disliking to likening this one.

Unfortunate about the cleaning/details but the strike on this is incredible, XF to me as well. Has a bit of a circulation cameo on the reverse that makes that eagle and the lettering POP

The reverse is very clean isn't it. I checked out some sold slabbed AU50s and some look in exactly the same shape, Although the lustre is not quite there on mine. I think XF45 details is probably about right.

Well that's incredible. NGC gave it a straight AU55. I thought there was a small chance of AU50 after comparing it to similar coins but I'll take 55! What do we think?   |

it did clean up quite well. I had it AU details before I saw your slab post

Congrats! But they were pretty generous on that one. Must have been graded at 5:59 on a Friday.
