I'd go AU58, pretty hard to grade from these pics but definitely at least AU

It appears to be in the AU range. Will wait on better pics to offer a definite opinion.  |

Agree no less than AU-58, very choice.

AU-55 but hard to tell from these photos if the surface is original.

Agree it's a tough call from the photos, but I thought it was worth taking a chance. I'll post better photos when I get it next week.

Looks to have no lustre, as well as a light old cleaning.
Realistically it would be a XF-45 tops, but with Market/TPG grading it probably would be given a mid grade AU.

Nice original AU50 but as Optimist-numismatist notes there is not much luster. The very dark spotty toning around ERICA and the arrowheads is concerning because that is the sort of end-stage toning that usually progresses into corrosion if not checked.

I just don't see how this could be AU-50 with a head of hair like that!

I'll clarify that I meant AU50 net and sharpness is AU58. In other words, it has the details of an AU58 coin but I would value it around AU50 money.

AU-55. Like this one. Hopefully when it arrives, it will look even better in hand!

Just got this in the mail. Looks like a solid AU, lightly cleaned in the past, but nicely retoned. Not much luster, and the color in the new photos is accurate. Any changes to your grading thoughts?   |

XF-49+++*. just can't call this an AU coin. Still nice however.
