Picked up a nice 1946 Dollar. My photos tend to subdue lustre but let me tell you it has VERY bright original cartwheel lustre on both sides. Also the hair is a weak strike, it's not circulation wear as might be assumed from the photos. I'll upload a video tonight to show lustre.
What do you think it grades?

I'll say XF-45. There is weakness in the profile of the canoe and load as well. If the Obv is due to weak strike, the Rev should be better. BTW, a great year and matches the UNC one that I have inset into a canoe paddle that I carved with a spoke shave .... my birth year.

Very slight wear on both sides.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

It doesn't look MS to me either. If I take the statement that there is absolutely no wear at face value then I'd have to say MS 60-61. It looks more like AU50 to me though.

Agreed, XF-AU, unless lighting is obscuring something. Hair and cheeks seem to have a light amout of wear.

Eek, looks like the photos were showing it as way more worn than it is. Sorry about that. Here's a video to show the lustre. I'm at MS61 or MS62.

Excellent! It is my Grandfather's birth year, and that's why I bought it.

In my opinion, the video confirms the photos. In fact, I could better identify the wear on both sides.

I'm at EF-45.

Looks like some rubbing on the high points. AU-58.
