Grade and straight vs details?   |

That pic is absolutely brutally overlit. Straight grade as a guess just because the pic is so bad, but no way to even try and grade for real with those

Another one? I hate going first! AU to MS something. Improperly cleaned. I see (I think I see) fine/hairline scratches in the Obv. and Rev. fields. Edit: Okay, second. basebal21- I think two_tonevf35 is trying to trick us with his lighting/pictures. We're on to him! Hi  two_tonevf35.  Edited by USSID18

It looks au55 to me but the lighting isn't doing the coin any favors. Also the band on liberty and the top feather on the eagle are difficult to discern. This is a coin where I wouldn't trust the grade on the slab unless I could see those areas clearly.

if you own this piece take photos in natural light. based on these pics I'm seeing a cleaned coin in the high AU range

Agree, no way to accurately grade from these images only speculate and that's iffy...

Some like their VF and XF coins tarnish free - except for some spots here and there. Just the way you'd expect a 125 year old (circulated) silver coin to look. Better pics next time!   |

I knew that. Straight grade XF45!   And that's why I'm not a grader! |

To be honest, I still don't like it. The obverse still looks unnatural and cleaned, even in this TPG holder.  |

Pictures have too bright lighting, which exaggerate the surface color. Couldn't tell if it was EF, AU, or MS from that pic.
I will totally agree it's been cleaned, however.
