Hi guys, I wanted to get your thoughts on my newest acquisition. Now I'll let you know, I'm posting the seller's pics because they represent the surfaces and toning perfectly to muster a grade range. It looks absolutely amazing in hand with no evidence of cleaning or whizzing. Any input is greatly appreciated!

Wow! That is a keeper! I am not that familiar with that coin - the only issue I see is perhaps the hair at her cheek..... but heck I'll give ya 25 cents for her!

I like that one a lot!

I would love to have one of these to go with my Columbia halves. I am afraid to try to grade it but I believe that is definitely a keeper.

Nice coin! (And nice images!)

My eyes see a nice AU coin based on what appears to be wear/metal loss on Isabella's cheek, eyelid and collar.

I also see similar wear on the reverse on the woman's cheek/jaw and knees.

My observations are based on the color difference seen in the images; they show a change in the coin's surface.

You can confirm/disprove my observations based on the coin's luster. If the luster is unbroken over the areas I mentioned then what I am seeing is a result of the lighting used to image the coin.

In any case, it is an attractive example of the Isabella and a nice pickup!

Not at all, I was thinking AU myself based off the wear. I just love the toning, makes it worth every penny.

I have this seller as one of my favorites in ebay. His descriptions and photos are right on and all coins I have purchased from him have been great.

My AU 55 that is in an NGC holder looks almost identical to this coin. Same color and everything.
