I have so much to accomplish and it will take me 25 years to come and may I live those by the grade of my God and complete my goal. What say you oh faithful of the Numismatic tribe?

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18714 Posts	Posted 09/25/2016 1:11 pm tough one to grade from these pics but here is my best shot. lighting is causing the obverse high points to appear to have been wiped with a cloth. it is also making the high points, under LIBERTY and above the ear appear to have light circulation wear. cant tell for sure but the blotchy oxidation also suggests that someone attempted to remove it. I dont think any chemicals were used though. the coin appears to be AU. i'll go with AU55 as there appears to be a lot of underlying luster. again tough due to lighting to be sure its not reflective light other than that, I do not see any other issues that would affect grade or value Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 09/25/2016 1:32 pm AU55 with a shot at AU58 and very original -- I prefer coins like this to the overly-dipped "blast white AU" examples that seem to dominate the market.

dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 09/25/2016 4:54 pm I amutilizing the sellers pics. I have this coin now and will take my own pics but for now, here is seller posting the slab (my finger nails are much cleaner ). Another ANACS OWH (My favorite to collect) This coin is very lustrous in-hand. I agree with the grade and actually the reverse has so much luster I would gamble NGC or PCGS going to a 64 on a resubmit. However for the $120 paid, I prefer it stay in its historic plastic time tomb. Thanks for looking Report this Post to the Staff
