If you believe so could you please explain why? Always up for learning. Wouldn't mind to hear what you think the grade is either! Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

Looks like scattered hairlines on her...the reverse showing the most. AU details cleaned. Thanks for sharing! smat Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 10/23/2022 08:32 am There appears to be rim damage at the top/bottom/left/right which strongly suggests it was in some sort of (jewelry?) holder. As for grade, the resolution of your image makes it difficult to determine. Report this Post to the Staff
Jec12 New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 10/23/2022 11:21 pm Thank you for the feedback! I definitely see the rim damage at the bottom. But figured it was dropped at some point. Would agree it has been cleaned as well. But still a beauty! Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 10/23/2022 11:56 pm It could have been in a bezel but there doesn't appear to be any serious damage. The main issue is it does look cleaned. Detail is AU and this Classic Head design is indeed a classic. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 10/24/2022 03:19 am AU details, not necessarily cleaned. Normally, gold does not require cleaning, even by those who don't know. The 'details' in this case may very well be the result of this coin being part of a jewelry piece at some period of time. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 10/25/2022 10:34 pm High AU detail, not obviously damaged. However, the surfaces show lots of tiny contact marks and abrasions which could be the result of being worn as jewelry. If it were mine I might invest in an ANACS submission. If it graded problem-free it would be a good score. Report this Post to the Staff
machine20 Pillar of the Community United States 1272 Posts	Posted 10/26/2022 9:59 pm Nice coin. These have gone up a ton in the last couple of years Report this Post to the Staff
jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 10/26/2022 10:15 pm No obvious damage from ex-jewelry. However the rim bump on obverse at 6 O'clock could be from a bezel, but doesn't appear to be based on rim photo. Does appear to have been cleaned. Pics are tough to grade from, but AU details seems about right. Good eye appeal. Edited by jimbucks 10/26/2022 10:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
