I don't agree with the PCGS assessment on this coin. Also, it has not been cleaned.

Your brief judgement is appreciated.

Images too small (and reverse image too dark) to see surface details clearly.

Looks like a good amount of luster. AU-55.

Coinfrog - why is it that sometimes I can click on a CCF photo and it will enlarge but, mine don't? If I make my photos any larger than they will be outside the proper Crop parameters and I always have to reduce them to the required pixels too. I haven't quite figured out my scope photos either.

Try to give this one your best shot and I'll keep trying to do better - deal? I know this is off-topic. Maybe you can PM me with your suggestions?

I can't get above AU53. I could see it in a PCGS 55 holder. I compared to my own AU53, also PCGS, and this one is probably about the same or even a little better.

I try to post my photos here around 800x800 and use photoshop or the image optimizer if needed to reduce the file size below 300k.

Pictures depict a low AU coin in 53 to 55 to these old eyes. Definitely better than XF but no where near BU.

Nice coin!

Slider23 - Realizing that my photos aren't the greatest. How did you come to your AU50 conclusion? Just curious.

I'm trying to contribute - but those photos are just too small out of focus and dark for anything other than guesswork.

Full luster only in the protected areas and no feathers showing on eagle's breast.

Seems conservative with all that luster.

I think it's a bit undergraded. A beautiful coin for a gift, too!

Nice coin, I was going to say AU-53 cleaned likely dipped.
