Having to use a cell phone to take pics so not ideal. Hopefully you get a decent enough view to form an opinion, if not I will try again. This coin does have fingerprints on both sides. Thanks   |

Well, unfortunately, the fingerprints aren't helping. Taking photos through clear 2x2 plastic can create issues, but your images look pretty good. With all that, I'd say a mid-range AU grade would be appropriate--some dings and hits are evident, and there's a hint of light wear on higher surfaces. Would be a decent hole filler until a better example comes along.

The images show plenty of glare. But The finger-print, the scratch on the forehead and the plenty of scuffs on he reverse are grade killers. Au-55 to au57. I am not the best at grading. Wait for the others before you decide anything.

Thanks for the replies. Took it out and used a USB microscope so maybe that gives a better view. Isn't AU for brown/mostly-brown coins?   Edited by CentSation

The AU designation is not limited to 'brown' coins.

Agree, AU something but the fingerprint has ruined the coin. I toss those back into circulation because these are plentiful in high grades with a little looking.
