I think it just makes AU-50, very attractive. It's an O-119 if you're interested.

I'm at EF-45, choice for grade, but 50 would not surprise.

This nice one looks like an XF-45 thereabouts, and just a bit nicer than my 1831

I say Choice XF45. For low AU you would expect tons of hits/bagmarks.

One of my classic future EF-48 (AU slider) coins. PCGS will drop-grade it to EF-45, but it has more luster than a 45 should have. The weak strike probably denies a higher grade from PCGS. Nice old survivor coin.

with fortcollins an EF48 is perfect for this coin! It's an EF45 all day long I think in real world market grading, but it's on the cusp of a nice AU also. Always err on the lower side if you are the grading company risking the money guarantee.

i think the reverse holds it to a really nice XF45. looks like later die state and lot of polishing on the drape around the breast and motto area. if I was grading it just by the obverse I would call it AU53

If I may ask, doesn't matter because I am. Why is it missing all that detail at 11K ? Weak strike or something else?

Late die state.
Look how the stars reach out to the rim.

Most likely a bit of a weak strike.
Notice the missing details are opposite Liberty's bust which "used up" a lot of the metal in that area.

Looks like we're all in about the same boat. First glance I thought XF45 then started to lean towards 50. I'll post results when they're in, have a feeling PCGS will say 45.

Grades and Trueview posted. This one pulled XF45.
