I just acquired this little lady. Some wear but I'm curious what you guys think about the grade. Something tells me that it is not good enough for an AU grade. Maybe high XF? Thanks for your time.

To think I sold one of these as a kid for $27 to fund my Lincoln Penny habit!

mds308: IN my opinion, I think your grading is near enough to the mark.

Lotsa little dents on Liberty's cheek, (gold is soft), but very little wear in the hair, some wear on the high points of the leaves on rev. Couple of minor edge bumps, consistent with grade. EF 50.

Rest in Peace
