Dowhat Pillar of the Community United States 876 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 11:08 pm Current bid is $45. These are the images provided by the auctioneer. I am desperate to replace one I let go many yrs. past. I feel this may warrant a MS60. Only a guess, I am not knowledgeable in grading. How high would you go? Your opinions will help on future endeavors for this one. Report this Post to the Staff

captainmandrake1 Pillar of the Community United States 878 Posts	Posted 04/16/2023 01:05 am I was looking at the horses' legs. There seem to be a number of hairlines there. That would worry me a little, but it might just be the picture or my weak eyes, of course. Report this Post to the Staff
commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12261 Posts	Posted 04/16/2023 05:43 am This coin would be a "Pass" for me. From the images, it appears to have been abrasively cleaned in the past - straight lines are seen on the obverse and reverse. This coin is one of the most common in the classic-era US series.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15400 Posts	Posted 04/18/2023 06:10 am Those are terrible photographs to judge a potential coin purchase from. I would take a pass on this example. Rest assured that a visit to any reasonable sized coin show will expose you to many of these and you should have no problem selecting a nice problem-free example for your collection.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95360 Posts	Posted 04/18/2023 08:49 am agreed, a pass on this one may be the wise move. The pictures are far from ideal. Collecting since 1972.

dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 04/19/2023 12:17 pm I've seen much better one's. I think that I would pass on that one. However, $45 is not a bad price. Try for one that doesn't appear to be cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
