Hard to get a good read on the surfaces from those photos - nice detail, nice rims but certainly dipped to moderate excess. I'm going to open with EF-45? Possible upgrade to AU-50 but I suspect not higher. Curious to see what the rest of the brain trust has to say about this one.

Much larger images needed for accurate grading.

Photos are hard to judge. I don't see obvious wear so I Wana say AU58-MS62. That said I can't get a feel for the true surfaces and luster. I'm gonna say Au58.

I'll take the venture, MS63. - Not seeing the wear, but hard to tell from pictures

I cant tell if it is wear or the lighting on the braid below the ear. Looks dipped or maybe some kind of light cleaning, I would venture a 55-63, unless it is cleaned, then maybe ICCS gave it a net grade of 40-50. Top photos make me wonder about cleaning, bottom less so, unless scratches are hidden by light/angle.

No evidence of cleaning, but certainly seems to have been dipped. Here's the grade: (no comments provided)  |

Interesting - I would say that's safely higher than EF-40. And, having seem the improved photos, I would take it higher than my original AU-50 as well. Worth a re-grade if you're into that sort of thing.

"No comments provided" that is what makes me think it is some kind of net grade and something that we are not seeing in the photos. Do you have the coin in hand?
Or ICCS just made a mistake/typo, both have been known to happen.

It looks "dipped to death"...
But, the surfaces look fine. If that was my coin, it would get snipped out of that ICCS flip and spending time on a sunny, wooden window ledge to acquire back some patina.
However, I digress, as this is a personal preference of mine, and I do understand that some collectors like blast white untoned silver coins.

Yes I have the coin. I wonder of it was downgraded a notch or two because of the dipping? I don't have a particular preference for 'blast white', but I thought this coin looked decent in the photos and even better in hand.
