Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 08/14/2020 12:57 am I'll say XF-45, I think it will squeeze by with a straight grade as well. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/01/2020 1:26 pm First graded it on my phone, but on my laptop it looks like you guys may be right. But a really old cleaning, yes? Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6396 Posts	Posted 09/01/2020 7:17 pm AU details, cleaned. Pretty extensive obverse hairlines, not super obvious but definitely there. The scratches below the eagle's beak also detract. Not bad overall. Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3663 Posts	Posted 09/01/2020 11:37 pm I agree with @Coinfrog, the cleaning looks old, and it has retoned. I'm more concerned with the more recent parallel scratches below the eagle's beak. A couple of those scratches are fairly deep, and they are noticeable. IMHO, the old cleaning wouldn't detail the coin, but the scratches likely drop-grade it a full point for eye appeal. Just in terms of technical grade, this would be an "AU slider," what eventually will become EF-48. I think it takes a hit to EF-45 (or EF-40 on a really bad day) for eye appeal if it straight grades.
