BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 05/19/2013 12:57 am Could "market-grade" low MS but the fields and high points of the devices say lightly circulated. My guess is AU55. There was another thread on a similar coin that was sent to NGC and came back MS62. This coin looks a lot like that one did. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 05/20/2013 01:05 am I will agree with AU-55. From my interpretation of the photos, the coin appears to a little too much friction in the fields, face, hair, and feathers to grade MS. If the face, hair, and feathers appeared nearly as lustrous as the field in between the rim and stars, then I could see it grading a low MS despite having friction in the more open areas of the fields. Unless additional photos show otherwise, I think it likely grades AU. Nice buy and the coin looks much better after conservation! Report this Post to the Staff
