Silver Three Cent Piece

Looks to me like another uneven strike on the reverse. Maybe this was just common back then. Certainly didn't have the technology we do now. 10-11 o'clock looks perfect, and 3-4 o'clock looks well worn. Judging by this I would go as high as AU-55, with I think the top of the star on the obverse being the limiting factor.

But, I still stink at this game, so hopefully someone with more experience in these comes along.

Thanks for feedback. My guess as to the missing "F" in the word "OF" on the obverse is the result of a filled die? The points of the star nearest the "OF" don't seem particularly worn. It doesn't show in the pictures, but this coin does have luster.

AU55 - dipped/cleaned

A 140 year old silver coin will almost never be white in color unless it has been cleaned. It appears there's no toning on the coin and is somewhat "flat" in color. I try to avoid white coins altogether unless they're choice AU or nice BU's and have been expertly dipped. Dipping in a special chemical (such as EZest) is akin to cleaning by stripping off a miniscule layer of metal along with any toning. In hand, you're coin may truly have some nice luster and perhaps not a bad coin. The picture seems to indicate that it might be stripped of any real luster it had given the low level of wear it exhibits.
