Wow, huge range in grade guesses so far on this one. From VF-30 to MS-61...lol. It certainly is not a VF coin. This one wasn't graded, and was purchased as a raw AU. Personally, I think it is at least a very solid AU-55. I don't really see much if any wear on this coin, but the obverse is so weak...it makes it hard to know for sure. I think a TPG would give it a 58....but since these get really expensive in MS grades; not sure they would go for that. It sure looks to have MS or near MS luster though.

I think it grades AU-58. I think the knee has a little bit of wear but the luster is nearly full.

I think AU55 on this one, I almost went MS on it too! It is a tough coin in higher grades and comes softly struck, so a high AU is almost certain, I don't see any wear on the reverse, lots of die polish lines and they don't seem to be disturbed by circulation marks, the obverse is a tough call without the coin in hand I think.
