Appears to be an attractive low AU piece with subdued luster and clear signs of wear. AU55 is as high as I'd go. Probably a 53 with 50 being the worst case. As a common date the value difference is minimal either way.

 53 most likely. Relatively few contact marks. Nice luster hidden in tight devices. Quite attractive. |

AU55 maybe was dipped but a lot of times its just lighting that makes it appear that way

The reverse seems to cartwheel well. The obverse seems to have cartwheel luster mainly in the areas around the rim near the date and the stars. Here's another image of the obverse:  Edited by Scarp9603

I have a chance to buy it,
for 2% over melt.

2% over melt is a decent price.

With melt at $326 then 2% over is $332.50. At that price with no tax/s&h/fees it's worth buying for sure.

That close to melt would be a good price.  |
