Do you think that this one would be AU or BU? Thanks!   |

The lighting in the photo is a little off so hard to tell for sure. The coin doesn't have the original frosty look of an MS coin. My guess on this one is AU-58 details for possible cleaning.

Not sure if it is a high AU or MS but the coin does have the appearance of being overdipped.

Good example of an MS-60 or MS-61 coin. No wear is evident but it has lost quite a bit of original mint luster

Thanks for the input,everyone! hmmm, I'm bit surprised by the fact that many of you seem to think that this coin has been cleaned. So here are some new pics:   Edited by Archraz

lighting in photo's, presented is always a nasty deal..nice pic....not so good lighting...better than as in hand..better grades.....do to faults you cant see...I'm, not mocking this
originator...but "I ask why"
people give good grades to poor photo's ?
where decent photo's show the defects of the coins you all would put down.....for instance,, the OP's photo's had no gash on the face...do to lighting...now the new photo, shows this scratch...MY POINT IS NOT TO kill to person asking for help....but rather to help them by asking for a better picture if need be,,so we can HELP them.....get an idea of what they have..HONESTLY....That is why we are here!

So, Aladin, what you say as far as the grade. The photo is OK for my opinion.

like many, you have to see beyond, what the photo is shown, My first impression, thought is AU 55/58.....Second opinion....withnew photo,s and doing hours of reaserch on other things, I come back to this,,,AU55...

The second photo does seem to show a bit of rub on the high points. I'd regrade it as AU 55/58 based on that image

Thanks for the input, everyone!
Yes, I just could not get decent lighting yesterday. But I'm glad to know that my suspicions were correct that it was an AU coin.
