Can't see much luster from the pics. An earlier dip perhaps washed it out. Just no dazzle for an UNC.

Do you think the reverse stain or tarnish will details this piece?

If you're talking about the carbon spots they shouldn't "details" it. They do hurt the eye appeal and hold it to 63 though.

Brought it to my dealer today he said solid 63 maybe 64, he also nicely removed the residue on the reverse, which he thought could have been residual rubber band staining. It's on it's way to PCGS next week along with a few others. Now we wait for the results from PCGS in a month or so. It's looking like my $40 gamble may pay off big time.

Having not read any other posts I would have said AU58 due to the rub on the cheeks which is clearly visible in the second picture. Reverse has much better luster than the obverse, that's probably due to pics...
Don't know why it didn't save the rest. Was saying this coin looks like a lock for a full grade MS63 as pretty much everyone else has said the same and I agree.

Looks like a 64.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Well I gave it to my friend to send out to PCGS along with a 1897 S to be regraded, as well as 3 CC GSA's 1882-1884. If the 28 S comes back a 64 I will do a backflip and if per some slim chance it is a 65, well I don't know what I will do LOL. But honestly I am 100% sure it'll be a 63+ or a 64.

PCGS graded it a 63. Not mad, as I have $60 total including grading...now it's worth over $400
