RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 03/29/2013 2:31 pm It looks AU-55 to my eyes. looks to be a little dirt in the crevices of the letters, I don't know if that was an old cleaning long ago but the coin looks nice. Report this Post to the Staff
Eklections Valued Member United States 171 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 09:30 am It looks like an ms63 to me. The spots on the reverse hold it back from a higher grade. Nice coin IMO. Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 2:15 pm I will go with AU-58. Most of the mint luster appears to be there but luster on the reverse looks like it may be disturbed a little by friction. Report this Post to the Staff

dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 7:52 pm IMO, all of the surface grime, especially in the motif lines, are too distracting and really hold it back, not a 58. I can see a TPG giving it a 50 or 53 based on auction archive research and comparable coins good enough for the everyman type set and nice example to have Report this Post to the Staff
