Browse ebay list and come across this coin. I really like it. What is your opinion of the grade.

The question is what's with the reverse ? Is it wear or is it a weak strike ? compared to obverse  AU-50-53 BN

T-BOP I really think this one has strike weakness due to the reverse die state. If you look at the left wheat ear you will notice that a chunk of the die was loose, and it appears to have formed a partial Cud as a result of the metal flowing into the pressure gap created by that loose chunk of die. My best guess.

Agreed this looks like a really weak reverse strike. I'd say AU-53.

Badthad, I do not see any wear as well. The color is very natural and pleasant. I will post another set of picture if there is any mint luster left. If it is, it could be MS63BN.

AU-58 BN with weak reverse. Just can't see it in an MS holder, nice as it is.
