Picked this coin up for my Dad for Christmas....my images don't bring out the rainbow toning on this coin very well....really nice in hand though. What do you think NGC gave it.   Edited by shadowtrooper78

I'l guess NGC said 53 but I think it's more like a 50

No less than AU50, and my guess is 53.

Obverse-limited; I'm thinking 45 at best. Not that I'd turn it down.  |

I'll go with AU-50. Does anybody else think that it looks like its been cleaned?  I'd be thrilled to receive that as a Christmas present! |

AU-50. I'll speculate that it get 5 points for eye appeal/originality otherwise it would be a XF-45 IMO.

I'll go with EF-45. I think the coin has a little too much wear on the head(some of the lack in details is partly due to strike), breast, knee, and eagle's feathers for a 45 but it still has remnants of mint luster which I think may boost it bit.

I think the best this coin should pull is a 45. It's probably technically somewhere between 40 and 45. Personally I wouldn't pay AU money for it even if the slab says AU.
Now, all that being said, the coin has stunning eye appeal and you are a great son for getting dear old Dad such a nice gift! I love the coin and would welcome it to my collection any day. He will surely be happy with it.
