Thank you all for the opinions! I agree with those that said the coin has had an old cleaning and was net graded down to AU-50. That's exactly what PCGS said.

Personally, I like the coin. The cleaning is clearly old and while it did leave a "glossy" look to it, it's not that unattractive in hand.

It seems that buying AU-50 coins is similar to buying MS-60 coins. Sometimes you might get one that looks better, but has a minor problem that isn't bad enough to warrant a details grade.

Thanks for playing!

AU-50 was my guess, and it seems to be right on the mark. Personally I think PCGS shouldn't give so much leeway to Seated dollars, and I think they should've called this coin cleaned.

That's all that matters! I am glad that you found an 1870 CC dollar that you are happy with.

I guess so. MS-60 just means that it is a problem UNC. Whether it is scratches, hairlines, cabinet rub, etc. AU-50 could be a problem AU, but it could just be a coin with more wear.

i'd rather have a nice circulated AU50 than a banged up MS60 or even 61. i'd rather have a nice AU58 than an MS63 with no eye appeal and a bunch of hits

It has nice eye appeal for a details coin and I think you did well on it.
