An oddball color, I'll go with AU details questionable color. If straight, maybe AU55 or 58. Not much rub in this coin.

I will have the coin in hand this week and will get some better pics up. I'm optimistic that it will look better in hand. Sellers photos kind of looked flat and cant see the luster. I'm at high AU, probably altered color, but it was worth every bit of what I paid.

T-Bop,
You are seeing the numerous extra 1s punched into the pearls, not damage. That is the variety being mentioned.

Coin came in this morning, and as expected, it does look better in hand. Still has some nice luster left and while splotchy, it does look original.   |

I'd venture an AU55 on it, but I also think it could easily get dinged for questionable color. The TPGs have been hitting that horse pretty hard lately.  Still a really nice looking coin and not at all ugly by any means, your photos even make it look better than the sellers did. Too much weakness in the diamonds to go over AU55 I think.

I will eventually send it in. I'm not a member of either PCGS or NGC right now, so not anytime soon.

based on the new photos it could be MS62 area but the color is questionable

Nice pickup! A general question on this variety - does anyone have a possible explanation of how the "1" could have been misplaced that far, all the way into the portrait?
