Or that's just what the picture is showing from how it was taken or the toning. Circulation wouldn't just wear off the right obverse field luster and barely touch anything else. Stars weren't worn flat either, there's far to much detail elsewhere for the stars to have worn down like that. Its an O mint not a Philly. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm calling it AU53, in a very rare case (for me) of allowing eye appeal to negatively affect my grade on a coin. I believe the coin's technical merit exceeds the grade, especially factoring known strike artifacts for this issue, but I'm hesitant to go the higher AU grades for a coin which shows no remaining luster. Not that I'd avoid owning it. Report this Post to the Staff
chesterb Pillar of the Community United States 1261 Posts	Posted 12/01/2017 2:17 pm I don't understand how people can determine the remaining luster (or lack thereof) by looking at an image? Yes the toning is thick on this one but that doesn't mean there isn't luster underneath. A coin really needs to be seen in hand to appreciate that. Report this Post to the Staff
MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 12/03/2017 9:15 pm This is the only coin I won from that wonderful auction by great collections. And for the shocker: This coin is graded xf-45 by PCGS. I paid roughly $347 for it. (assuming the check payment option doesn't take forever, they now give a 2.5% discount for paying that way-dodging papal fees-I love it) /Really bummed I couldn't get the order in for the 56-O. Loved that coin as well. Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 12/04/2017 05:38 am Good buy at that price. Coins like this often get a bump to AU at NGC & ANACS. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
