I give the an coin AU50 grade. The coin is unusually dull, but has some mint luster. I just thought it would be fun to see how many will disagree. The coin is for sale and I will be listing it on ebay or on this forum tomorrow.   |

If the luster is really lacking, AU50 might be right due to probably being overdipped. It appears to AU55+ detail, though.

IMO the coin has not been dipped due to the presence of some original luster. Repeated dippings would have stripped the coin of the frost and replaced it with a shiny and too clean apparance.
I think the grey toning is due to the storage method, and a slight difference in the surface lamination when compared to other "flashy" AU's.

I could buy AU50 for this one. It'd probably spark a feeding frenzy on ebay. |

"It'd probably spark a feeding frenzy on ebay." That's funny, I don't care who you are. Very true. I put in the listing that I don't feel that the coin is cleaned, but if it was then it would be a light, old cleaning. The buyer will be happy with this coin, it looks better than my pics.

I think it's a very nice looking coin, cleaned or not. Just in case, I'll likely watch it. Your auctions are pretty professional, though, so I'm probably out of luck.  |

You don't know how much your compliment means to me. I work very hard on this, and to know someone with experience sees my effort makes my day.
Many thanks to you.

I hope someone on this forum wins it. I will ship it for free to a coin community winner. I don't usually use a reserve, but it is a low $399.

So, I'm curious, what did it finally go for? Only if you want to tell.

I don't have any secrets. It sold for $399.00 which was my reserve.
