This one has me fooled. I graded it at the time I bought it around 3 1/2 years ago. It still has nice cartwheels, is still sort of frosty looking, but the high spots are definitely worn both obverse and reverse. It's not polished and no obvious cleaning.

I think I still stand my that AU-53 today, what do you think?

AU details (over-dipped, probably cleaned).

technically I think its AU53 but this girl is pretty baggy and would net down a full grade imo. I don't think it was cleaned just banged around

Wow, this one is baggy. I'm at at tossup whether the marks between the ribbon and left wreath and ONE DOLLAR are natural or intentional damage.

It definitely would be drop-graded for eye appeal. The question is whether it would drop a half step or a whole step.

Starting with a technical grade of AU-55, I could easily see this one net graded AU-50. Regardless of the amount of the drop-grade, this one would see a substantial downward price adjustment from AU-55 because of appearance.

I think it will straight grade AU-55.

I'd say cleaned, too. Some of the marks from the circulation seem too strong, and there are too many of them in similar directions.
