I'll say AU details (environmental damage).

AU Details, ED as well. Lighting and scope shots might be making those spots look worse than they are. I'd hit it with some Verdicare If you have some, if not then xylene and acetone would be my approach. Will always be a Details coin but might improve eye appeal . My 2 cents

I don't know where you guys are getting AU details from ; The coin looks cleaned ,rim damage and environment issues , and slight to moderate wear .I say VF-30-35 .** If the top of that reverse shield is wear which it sure does look it than AU is totally out of the stratosphere .  |

It would be a nice coin if it wasn't for the environmental damage, I agree with the above: AU details.

I'll go for XF details coin. It has full liberty, but the wear on the wreath, feather tips and high points of cent and shield really pull me down to XF details. No matter what the coin is not visually appealing so I can see how Tony goes to VF, but the full Liberty pulls it higher. I wouldn't pay XF Details for this coin though, I would pay less.

Thank you Helder for having my back ; And I certainly would pay AU-details for it . Besides not looking it's best this coin has a few issues that would not be present on an AU IHC . |
