HumblePie, that's a beautiful deuce! I love the repunched date. There may be the slightest bit of wear at some of the the high points - the laurels and WE. And the bashos at R4 and especially R11 really hurt. AU58
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I'll say AU-58 as well. Beautiful coin.

Looks like she's been slathered to preserver her...
I wouldn't worry about the rim ding...
AU-58 seems fair.

Rim ding would be a head-banger for a TPG. |

Beautiful coin overall, but why does the date look like someone used a rasp on it?

nice rpd
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."

Uhhhh this coin has no luster and looks to have been treated with Verdicare or similar product. XF-40 with a fat rim ding, straight grade.

I did have to conserve this coin. I probably should have waited a full day or so after the verdicare treatment before taking the grading photos. Here are the before photos. Also, here are in-flip photos that I just took with my cam. I do let the coin sit out and fully dry 24hrs plus before putting the coin in a flip.     |

i have it right between 55 and 58 and due to the sharpness of the devices i'd say its enough to pull AU58. the ding doesn't impinge past the denticles so it has a good chance of a straight holder imo

Nice rpd, I am not sure I can get past the rim ding. AU-55 if straight graded.

In review, EF-45. Don't know what I was thinking.

I think it makes AU53, or right close to it.

XF40 if not details. NO WAY this is an AU coin

After looking at some AU coins, I'm in the EF45 camp. Wear at the bottom of the shield on obverse, arrow tips are flattened by wear. Leaves show wear, particularly on right obverse. Reverse leaves show wear. All that said, I love the RPD!
