This one is quite reflective which shows a fair amount of cabinet rub. Looks Borderline prooflike in hand especially the obverse.    |

Does it have any luster? I can't see much so XF45 is my guess. The piece was likely cleaned/dipped resulting in a loss of (most) luster. It still has decent eye appeal and doesn't appear to be harshly cleaned.

Yes looks very similar to my AU Prooflikes , not the dipped to death look.
Obverse reflects about 5-6" and reverse about 4-5"

Looks like mid-AU sharpness. The surfaces are pretty marked up, possibly with a light cleaning on the obverse. The mintmark looks right for a VAM-1B.

I'll say AU-53, possibly cleaned.

I tried to play with the lighting . Hopefully this helps some with the coin looking cleaned. Still trying to figure out the light . All my photos seem to bring out the scratches and bag marks and kill the luster as opposed to making it look like it does in hand . This one was especially hard as it is proof like in hand but all the marks stand out.   Edited by JasonKflo

Cool. I'm comfortable with a lower-range AU.

This one will get sent to Anacs or possibly NGC since they would possibly add a PL designation . PCGS does not do that so I will not send it there.
