Numismedia puts this coin at $15.60. I also agree with the AU55 grade.

It may get to MS-60.

Can't really tell by the pics.

After a second look, it may grade MS. Without the coin in hand, that would be a guess. Great looking coin nonetheless

Much better pictures, I see no wear also. I agree and up the grade to MS-63.

Thad,

What do you mean by no woodgraining?

Please teach me, what keeps this coin from grading higher than MS-63? Is that something that cannot be determined from the quality of these photographs, or is it something else?

Thanks!

I see no woodgraining on this coin. Have a look at this album and tell if you think your coins looks like any of these:

This coin might slide to a 64. My grade is about as close (and conservative) as I can get with the supplied pictures.

best I can do to photo what I'm referring to as woodgrain
Woodgrain-1909-VDB

the obverse doesn't show it nearly as much, but there is some streaking evident.

thoughts?

Just wondering if the wood grain appears on Unc.coins too or does it develop later?
