Hoping to get an idea of the grade. I'm not the greatest at this so hopefully this works. Normally the files are too big...might have made them too small this time.

Thanks.

As best I can tell I don't see any wear on it but don't see any "luster".

So hoping for an AU to MS.

Sharper images would help.

Due to the wear around the ear and the hair around the temple, it looks to be EF-40 at best.

Looks cleaned, but yes, clearer images would help

Based on the vertical jewels on the crown, the hair, the lower band of the crown and the shoulder, I'd say XF-40, but it's been heavily cleaned/buffed. Some of the photos seem to be completely washed out

I think EF-40 sounds about right.

lol "dipped to death" I knew it had to be too good to be true. I didn't think it was cleaned or at least hoping.

I'll see if I can get better photos it was stapled in the 2x2 and didn't want to take it apart because it's not mine...at least not yet.

Thanks for all that feed back...just reinforces why I never try grading for myself.

Overdipped. But I still like it.

It's a nice coin. I'd say EF-40 - AU 50 depending on the grader. It may get a 'cleaned' designation however.
