Very nice coin. There is some slight wear in the hair and on the stars around the edge. I would grade this coin at AU-55, but there might be enought luster to slide it to AU-58.

The coin, if unc, appears to have virtually no chatter. I am assuming the little lines on the obverse are reflections. If that is so, MS-64 RB. If not, MS-63, maybe 62 RB. I see no wear on the reverse, but I can see what ezschiento is talking about, so if it isn't just the pictures, then AU-58 RB. But I would definitely go with 58 not 55, the wear is minimal, coin is attractive, not many abrasions at all = all the hallmarks of a 'slider' 58 coin rather than a lower grade.

I am surprised it got labeled BN at the least.

I'm glad they gave it a BN designation. It was already slabbed when I bought it so I'm sure it would have cost me a whole lot more if they had given it a RB instead!  |

I guess it's after the fact, but I would have guessed MS62RB.

I did not see any signs of wear and would have given it a BN designation as well. Very nice LC!

Shadow,
I do believe you are right. How they determine the percentage of red is beyond me.
