This 1881 3CN looks XF/AU to me. Seller did not note the MAJOR die clash obverse/reverse. I've got a couple of other clashed 3CN's but this one has clash pretty much everywhere, along with a couple of die chips. Two rim dings on the reverse, but not bad.

Thoughts on a grade?

Decided to test out my new USB stereo microscope with this coin. Coin, in hand, has good luster and is probably AU53 in my opinion.
