westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7613 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 2:50 pm VF30/35 in my eyes. Looks to have been lightly cleaned or wiped, too. Hopefully, it straight graded. Still a nice coin to have no matter what it grades! Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 3:36 pm I bet it has good remaining luster and that the pictures are doing it no favors. XF40 ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
wallyb Pillar of the Community Canada 557 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 6:28 pm Looks like those long scratches on Reverse side are on the slab not the coin, some odd white spotting both sides too. Enough detail for EF45 in my view. Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 04/16/2023 11:45 pm I would have guessed XF-45, with a good chance of a "cleaned" designation on the label. Seems like NGC was pretty lenient on this one. Perhaps it looks much nicer in-hand. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 04/17/2023 02:24 am I still think VF-35 despite full slab pics. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18635 Posts	Posted 04/17/2023 08:39 am they are definitely easier on gold hits than any other coin series due to the metal composition. the photo of the coin in the holder looks way better than the original photos. I think lighting and close up of the coin is just showing every single mark on the coin and masking luster that looks like it may be there. there are markers that do say AU like the crown definition. the coin strike is also weak adding to the grading challenge. the slab photo is showing some luster which the other photos are not. BH1964 called the luster. we can only grade coins based on what we see no matter what series, any coin can look different in hand. this may be one of them. the coin also may be over graded which we do see from even the top tier TPG's Report this Post to the Staff
