panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18680 Posts	Posted 02/20/2023 08:54 am really tough to see the surfaces to assess it. photos too small and shadowing hiding the surfaces. from what I see there are significant amount of the fine lines/scratches on both sides. eagle breast is quite flat but some could be attributed to strike as the 93(P) can be a little weak. lighting is enhancing the remaining luster. I would have graded it AU53 but with the number of marks on the coin I'm betting thats why PCGS lowered it Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6389 Posts	Posted 03/02/2023 12:31 am Agree that this dollar grades no higher than AU-50. The obverse photo shows luster around star #5 and directly across the coin at UM of UNUM. That is all that remains of the luster band that would have been complete on an uncirculated coin. The old standard for an AU-50 grade was that 50% of the original luster remains. This coin appears to have lost well over half its original luster. Report this Post to the Staff

Interesting, I never heard this standard. Nowadays 50% luster is at minimum AU-53. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 03/02/2023 02:51 am It looks over-dipped in the images. Completely void dirt, crust, toning or anything else that happens to 130 year-old circulated silver coins. AU50 sounds fair. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 03/03/2023 10:53 am Thanks everyone for your contributions! I'm still working on photos. No I have not followed this coin it's entire life...I'm not that old! In hand there are no indications of cleaning, dipping, and so forth. I might send it forward again to see what it comes back as now. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18680 Posts	Posted 03/03/2023 11:41 am dsking my question is why would you resub it? it may upgrade to 53 but there is only about $100 retail difference. the chance it pulls a 55 is pretty slim. I guess its roll of the dice and if you already have a subscription to submit under to reduce the costs Report this Post to the Staff
