Surely this coin, with lots of crud and no luster, cannot be considered AU!   |

Was, and still is, XF-45. Not enough separation of the ribbon from the hair line to warrant a full AU grade, and there is no visible luster.
Rick Snow would have probably given it a XF40, and NGC probably gave it AU50.

These are not really my thing but the few IHC I have owned over the years I've found that these In low to mid AU don't have a ton of luster remaining and what you would expect to see would be tough to do so from a photo on a AU50 -53 coin .. With this being a rare date I'd say NGC had it in the AU 50-53 range .. EF40-45 years ago ? Edited by Kevin_1986

AU-55 (Today)
XF-45 (14 years ago)
Probably underestimating grade-inflation though. I was still collecting junk as a teenager in 2002 and didn't even know that grading companies existed since my LCS sold everything raw (probably greatly to their financial advantage).

EF? This is clearly better than that. AU-55, My grade. AU-50, Bill's grade. AU-58, NGC's grade.
