I'd say AU-58 with low eye appeal.

tough call due to the blotchy toning. some of what we are seeing is actual toning albeit not the best eye appeal but I believe the coin may have been improperly stored and may not grade straight.
the 86(P) should be sharp and the eagle is pointing me to the coin being circulated but the cheek is pretty clean so its a tough call
AU58 or MS62 possible details designation. I'm leaning MS62

Could be MS but hard to tell with the blotchy toning.

Very very hard to tell from the photo due to the toning. I've seen tons like these graded ms64 65 65 and it leaves you scratching your head. So it would just be a guess on this one and I wouldn't like to hazard one.

Because OP provided such great high resolution pictures, I was able to zoom in on the dark toned portion of Liberty's cheek. I can clearly see that the surface in the toned parts of the cheek, neck and field are pitted. I don't see any wear on this coin and would say it is MS details Surface Damage.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I guess this surface has gone a bit beyond toning. I appreciate the responses. It's only a coin I was looking at.

The pitting looks like the rusted die VAM. Maybe VAM 4A? If so, it's a tough one to snag. I'm not seeing any wear on the reverse. IMHO, the obverse weakness is due to the die and strike quality. I'm tentatively at MS-63. |
