I am no pro but my guess is MS60+. It is a little hard to tell with the pics so small. I think that I see toes, drapery lines, etc. Looks like a coin that I would like to have!  |

The pic is not quite good enough to see if there is any wear. So its either an MS-62 or an AU-55. Probably an MS-62. I see a couple of hits and whatnot. Maybe MS-63, but not beyond that. I don't actually see any wear, but if there happens to be some then AU-55.

First instinct is AU-58 due to the fields, it looks like theres some dampening of luster there but it could be the pics.

The pic shows that there is very little or no wear.
Except for Lady Liberty's head. Since there is no obvious wear on any other part of the coin, I can only surmise that it must be a weak strike in this area.

Agreed about the devices, its the fields that are the deciding factor at this level IMO.

Based on the detail of the devices I would say MS. Possibly as high as MS64.

I see a big difference in grading opinions here.
I am NOT indicating that any of them are wrong, but it does point out that it is sometimes difficult to grade a coin from a screen image.
Normally, I like to have a coin in hand to think about a grade for it.
I think that we are all agreed that it is a very nice coin, anyway!
Continue with the grading opinions!

I can't tell if there's a rub on her right leg or if it's a weak strike. I don't see any wear on the chest, so I'll opt for a weak strike. Given that, I'll say MS-62.

AU-58 at the very least but it seems to be MS-62.

AU-58, just a bit of wear (the lack of detail on the head may be strike, but the legs' wear is usage, I think...), but OH, WHAT a beauty!Gorgeous, full date!  |

I had a '23S, but nowhere the grade of this one, perhaps VF only. Picked it out of a dealer's junk bin for a dollar, back in about 1980. I guess much easier to pick up under these conditions in Australia. Sold it some years later to pay a bill.
