EF-45 and choice. Details of a higher grade, perhaps, but I usually don't call a coin AU without luster/some sense of original surface.

Nice surfaces, but I'd say XF-45.

I was looking at the strength of the motto, especially WE.  |

The rim bumps on the reverse could hold the grade to 45 but if they are overlooked then AU50. I agree there's a touch of verdigris that needs attention.

Thanks all! I was on the fence between EF-45 and AU-50, but Bill Fivaz told me that if WE is bold, then it is an AU coin. But the lack of luster is indicative of an EF coin. So, as I said, I was on the fence.

It's a great coin for sure, but when you look at its flat-brown surfaces, do you really think "about uncirculated"?

Nope. My first thought was EF. Then I compared to photograde and remembered what Bill Fivaz told me.

Way too much wear for AU. XF-40, tops.
