Still like the color and yes there is some light cleaning in the fields. I like it more for the die break and think it's a keeper if you didn't overpay.

There is no life left in that coin. It's got zero eye appeal.

When the NGC & PCGS combined census has a single 62 and less than 20 circulated - it is a conversation about availability more than eye appeal. I could care less how visually appealing it is - they don't come around often. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

I don't think it straight grades. It's not a horrible looking cleaned coin. It only matters whether you like it but the coin will only appeal to a limited audience.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

If you are thinking of returning it, I'd like a chance at her. Maybe we can work out a trade if you are interested.

With consensus being no way on straight I'll most likely return it and wait on...most likely for a long while...a raw candidate that has a chance at a straight grade.

I agree with the others, not seeing a straight grade.

I'm not an expert on these and they are one the more challenging series to grade. the grade on these is sometimes based on the TPG grader who handles it. if they are well versed in the series they would know the rev is a weaker strike and even the obv in the clasp area. I look at the high devices especially the lettering and stars i would grade the coin mid-VF 25 or even 30 imo. how would a TPG see it is the question. as for cleaning. I've seen similar looking ones that graded straight and some details. you have to ask yourself is it worth the $$ to find out. if it came back straight you have a winner. even at details the price you paid I think is pretty good. if it was mine i'd take the chance. if you take a shot. repost it. i'd love to see what they say |
