Here's an elusive coin that I've had on my wish list. This example turned up and I went for it. How do you think it graded?

I'd grade it AU-50, but I imagine that NGC graded it AU-55

Not much of a grading challenge, really: it's clearly AU, with luster impairment visible in the fields. There is a lot of proof-like flash in the protected areas. I presume with an original mintage of just 4,240 the dies were in like-new condition for most of the production run. Many survivors likely show P-L surface quality resulting from being struck with pristine dies.
