Looking for a grade. I think 62 but I am inexperienced with these. Am I close? Thank you so much. This site and the members have helped me come a long way in the last year since I picked up collecting again. I was a teenager last time I considered myself a coin collector!

The pictures make it a bit difficult to be certain that it is uncirculated. I don't see any indications of wear but both areas I usually check first are hard to differentiate.

If your luster is unbroken, especially near the centers, then I would agree that it is uncirculated.

There is no hint of dipping or mechanical cleaning. I see nothing that would be considered a problem. I think it deserves a MS-63.

Pictures are a little dark but I think I see friction on Liberty's left thigh and breastplate which are the obverse high points. The eagle's breast however seems pristine. If there is friction I'd say AU-58; if not you are probably on target with MS-62.

Tough call. I'm leaning toward 58.

AU53, pictures make luster look very flat, possibly cleaned. Need better pictures to really grade, but I think it's an AU-something for sure.
