AU90o Valued Member United States 199 Posts	Posted 08/29/2012 11:02 am Hard to tell from the photo. The 'halo' around the eagle looks disturbed, and the obverse looks 'flat'. I'd say AU-ish with slightly cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff

carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 08/29/2012 4:32 pm Just a suggestion, you might want to re-shoot this coin. Right now, the areas between the 8 - 12 O'clock positions look like significant wear. The reverse highest point, the eagles back, does not exhibit any wear. It looks like a typical B Reverse used from 22 to 28 except for the blurriness of the photo. Everyone will interpret the blurriness as wear and say its EF to AU. Looks like it has great luster though. Just my humble opinion though! Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 08/29/2012 5:57 pm The photos are not the best especially to grade coins in AU or above. I think you most likely have a AU coin. Cleaning is a possibility. Report this Post to the Staff
Gothic Florin Pillar of the Community United States 2541 Posts	Posted 08/30/2012 8:54 pm I fear this one is in the same bag as some of the others you have posted mate...AU possibly cleaned... Report this Post to the Staff
jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 08/30/2012 10:53 pm I think Carmykle is right. I think it is just the angle and focus. Right now I am leaning towards MS62 Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 08/31/2012 02:07 am The obverse could be MS but seems to lack luster. The reverse shows signs of handling. Out of an abundance of caution, I will give this one an AU-55 grade. May have been dipped but I don't think that will seriously detract from this piece. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 08/31/2012 03:39 am I don't know how to grade these, but Liberty's hair detail and the detail around the eagle's head looks a trifle dull. Remember, these are large dollar sized coins, and so the striking pressure may be a little low. In the areas I have just mentioned, have a look for the presence of mint luster with a loupe. If it IS present, there would be less wear, and thus would deserve a higher grade. Unfortunately, even light cleaning in the high points will affect the mint luster.
