It's a beauty but I do see what appears to be wear on the high points. Hard to out guess the TPG unless I knew it was a Monday morning coin. I'm going to say AU-55. |

The detail is great, I gotta go AU. Bird on the reverse looks like it may have been wiped, but ir could be the picture.

Nice coin! I'll wagerAU50. Some of the wear in the hair and higher devices is probably related to the original planchet surface. If the coin were better struck it would garner a higher grade.

AU-55 no doubt in my mind, and a super looking coin! Great original luster showing through the toning on top, no sign of a cleaning I can see.  I agree on the strike, if it were a bit fuller this coin would likely see a MS-62/63 holder! It's the strike holding it back not wear. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

There's a lot of luster there, I gotta say AU-53.

I would agree with AU-53. There is a fair amount of luster visible in protected areas around the rim and in the device crevices. The surfaces look original and there is slight rub on Liberty's cheek and bust. Darkening in the fields is consistent with light friction from brief circulation. The flat stars are the result of strike, not wear.
Very nice original coin with good eye appeal!

I think everyone is under estimating for an early struck coin and will go with AU-58.

Yep, nice coin, wish that was sitting in my 7070. I was expecting to see this end up being a MS-60 or 61 even though I felt it to be strong AU-55. So many times I disagree with what I see in a TPG slab. Grading has gotten a lot looser over the last few years. |
