I'm on board with 55. With iffy strikes like these, what you see that isn't original has more bearing, and the marks in various places - and the preponderance of them (albeit all small) in the fields - convinces me it's circulated. Look around STATES for evidence of how much handling is visible in the fields.

The first 8 in the date looks like it is repunched to the east.
I could see this as an AU55.

There's a ton of repunching in this series. If you're bringing mag to bear, have a look at the 1 as well because if the perspective is correct in your images, it's pretty interesting.

Is there a die crack that goes diagonally across the date from the lower right to the upper left?

The crack runs through the *bottom* of the date numerals. It looks more parralel than slanted though

I would grade an AU50 !! Looks like most of you say AU55 but I think that's a little high. Good news is about the same value.
