Hi Guys, Considering this coin for purchase. I call about AU, some luster, few bag marks. Other then that, problem free. What do you think? Thanks!  |

The strike looks solid but there is no vein detail in the back leaves = AU53 wear, but the surfaces look unnatural -- the luster is literally everywhere, and it should not be at this wear level -- and the coin as a whole has low eye appeal due to the numerous dings, abrasions, marks, and hairline scratches. My opinion would be AU53 details, cleaned/dipped.

AU or so. Looks overdipped.

It's actually easier to get an exact grade from the reverse, but as everyone has already said - this poor girl has taken way to many dips in the deep end of the dip pool.

Thank you to all that responded. I really do appreciate this. You saved me $222 dollars! Being a new collector, this site is so important! I guess with this coin the unnatural luster is a sign of being dipped. Thanks again!

$222? Even if it were problem-free, in mid AU it's only worth about $120-$150.
