I tossed in a low-ball bid for this coin and ended up winning it. Definitely not flashy, but it's a solid EDS example, I think. What say you?   |

Agree low AU. Nice example if you like darker coins.

It's a beauty, pristine. Nothing at all wrong with a dark coin.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

AU-55 by me. Wouldn't this be an LDS with all that stretching? .. especially on the reverse.

AU-50. Late die state and early die state terms are relative and different with each die pairing.

Everyone right, more or less. Frankly I was surprised that any completely luster-less coin could grade above AU-50. That said, I don't have the coin yet ...  Edited by pristine2
