BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 01/02/2022 12:10 pm The hit on the chin is pretty deep and large and, like many 19th century pieces, it looks to have been lightly cleaned. That said the color and luster are quite good and the eye appeal is above average. The reverse has a more remaining detail than the obverse and looks fully AU. The obverse appears XF40. So XF45 is my guess. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/02/2022 12:20 pm Good analysis. EF-45 sounds about right, but I don't have much experience grading these. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18630 Posts	Posted 01/03/2022 08:56 am AU55 is a little generous. please wait at least 24hrs to post grade 48 is better if you can obv looks like a weak strike. reverse at AU55. the surfaces are pretty marked up. I would net it to AU50 Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36491 Posts	Posted 01/30/2022 1:28 pm I'm leaning towards AU-53 and possibly cleaned. Not one I'd pay AU-55 money for. Report this Post to the Staff
