Hi Everyone,

Recent purchase here, just wondering what people think the grade is!

AU-50. Eye Appeal 7/10. Appears to be uncleaned, which itself is a rarity.
Rest in Peace

AU details. I think the coin has been cleaned. the remaining crud on the cheek looks like someone was attempting to remove it. with a little enhancement you can see diagonal hairlines between the yellow lines. would it grade straight? possibly but just calling it out in case you didn't see it. make your own assessment

Thanks for the replies! I did notice the slight lines on the obverse, they look to me to be from a felt tray. It's current on a plane to PCGS so will see what they say!

The closer I look the more I'm concerned about cleaning as well.
