Thinking of picking this one up. But wanted your opinions on grade and price first.

She is beautiful. I'm guessing VF-30 and priced in the $140-$200 in TPG.

Me like. Good VF (strong shot at 35), no-issue coin. Check the reverse carefully for cleaning, though. There's a little crud in the tight spots. That's to be expected of this complex design, so you give a little leeway, but don't discount the possibility. $175+ in a PCGS slab.

I'm not very good at grading these, but it's a beautiful coin. I love the 53's.

Thanks everyone, I think I just might have to get it. It's ebay and at $150 right now with 6 days left. I'm watching and wanted to make sure you all didn't say anything bad about it like CLEANED! :)

It looks pretty nice (solid VF+) and if it goes for the $150 opening bid, a decent buy. I wouldn't pay any more than that for it though.

VF-35. Surfaces look good in my opinion but with photographs there is only so much we can discern. Higher mintage year. Seems like a decent price if it isn't cleaned.
