Net graded. See my comment above.

That coin has AU sharpness, not XF. The cleaning/excessive dipping was not mentioned.

The important part is it has great detail and you like it. Hope it finds a nice place in your new collection!

Awesome! Thanks for posting, wish your happy with the results!

I dont think ICCS comments due to the fact that almost all coins pre 1967 have been cleaned/dipped/restored at some point in their lifespan.

Great coin regardless. Its all about eye appeal I would say!

If a coin is wrongly graded, it is usually too high.
(Perhaps to encourage more collectors to submit coins for grading?)

This coin graded too low.
Tiara details quite sharp (obv.) crown details quite sharp (rev.)
I.C.C.S. was probably looking at the hair detail (obv.), and so it gets the grade you see.
I am thinking it may be a light strike on the highest points of the design, which in this case, happens to be the hair.

I am thinking that this coin is much closer to AU, with a slight rubbing in the fields to reduce some of the original mint luster. There is still some remaining original luster around the lettering (obv.) and leaves, (rev.) that is visible under the patina.

Probably had a light dip.
