AU50 with the detail being a bit better than 50 but the lack of luster/spots likely held it back. If it went as low as XF45 it was likely net graded for the spotting.
PCGS says XF Details Cleaning. Very disappointed in them on this one. I don't think they were correct on either accounts. The patina is actual pretty unique and pleasing in hand except for the spotting on the reverse. I was set up at a coin show recently where someone fell in love with the coin and offered me $450 for it. I foolishly declined because I loved it and thinking it might grade AU58 ( I am pretty new in grading) This one will be going to NGC soon.
