Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 05/15/2016 5:01 pm AU-53 surfaces look fine to me. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18670 Posts	Posted 05/15/2016 5:27 pm I think it could make AU53 also. with the dullness of the coin and lack of any luster whatsoever it may have had an old cleaning but could be market acceptable... hows that for skirting the issue?

syeb Valued Member United States 282 Posts	Posted 05/15/2016 6:10 pm Panzaldi, that's a nice skirt. Covers just enough to be acceptable but still leaves room for speculation. Edited by syeb 05/15/2016 6:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 05/15/2016 9:33 pm I see zero luster, so EF-45 in my book. Details are definitely AU, but you cannot have an AU grade without luster, period. Report this Post to the Staff
syeb Valued Member United States 282 Posts	Posted 05/15/2016 9:55 pm I guess it's time to go to the board...... Someone at NGC was having a good day. Report this Post to the Staff
bandsdean Pillar of the Community United States 2125 Posts	Posted 05/15/2016 10:07 pm I would have said AU-53-55. Great fully struck hair detail, Great shirt (is that a shirt?) detail but the stars not fully struck up. Looks very nice to me! Report this Post to the Staff
TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 05/16/2016 12:10 pm Maybe the luster was subdued in the pictures. I disagree with NGC. Report this Post to the Staff
Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 05/16/2016 12:50 pm Shouldn't the NGC label be brown not grey? Looks like the pictures might be a bit off color in my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
syeb Valued Member United States 282 Posts	Posted 05/16/2016 12:53 pm That's the color it is in the seller's pic. It checks out on NGC verification although no pics there. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/16/2016 4:33 pm At any rate, a sharp coin. Report this Post to the Staff
ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 05/16/2016 8:36 pm nice details on this one! Im thinking more luster in hand maybe? let us know! Report this Post to the Staff
syeb Valued Member United States 282 Posts	Posted 05/16/2016 9:57 pm Once I receive it I'll take better pics. Full return privileges (Thanks CCF for the advice!) so it was worth a shot. Report this Post to the Staff
