This is another one that just arrived with me, very similar to the other but it is a different coin. What grade do you think?   Edited by TobyJ

It looks steel-like and I don't see any frost. AU58?

AU58. why do all these coins you're posting have the same look. it really pushes me closer to all of these be cleaned in some manner. you just dont see that many different coins together that have the overall appearance. maybe chemically treated and a light wipe on all of the these

Yeah I'm unsure why they look so. Perhaps a really old cleaning of some kind like you say? I'll submit them to NGC and see if they details them.

I suspect that since they are all close in age, they most likely came out of an original collection. The toning, surfaces, etc. are all very close in nature and consistent between coins.

Nice find. Congratulations!  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I like it! First thought without cheating was MS-63. A little cabinet rub holding it back from a higher grade.
