I see what looks like slight friction on these normally weakly struck issues. I'm with AU58 on this one.

I think you'll see AU55 in a slab. Keep in mind, the value goes into orbit for a Mint State coin - TPG's will be hesitant to "create wealth" with a borderline coin.

I agree with S.D. If this were a 1882 O you might see MS61. Being that it's a conditionally rare coin in mint state it's an AU coin.

AU-58. There is a lots of luster and it seems there is just a touch of friction on the cheek and the eagle's breast. Very nice coin!

Delivered today. here's some updated pics. sorry the second is so blurry.

Would be great to grade 58, it was listed as borderline BU, but that wasn't going to happen.

sending in on Monday, will be back to post slab.

managed to save enough money for an NGC acct and finally sent this in with a half dozen other denominations.

i had a free grade at ANACS and it came back AU55 VAM16.
cracked it out and sent to NGC, I knew it was at least AU58.

forgot to add the VAM 16 to the invoice though.
