Just picked this one up for $55. Seller's pics. Thoughts on grade?   |

Now that is a hyper good deal  I put this about a MS-63 or so to my eyes and the upright 5's variety  PCGS coinfacts lists a 63 at over $400.00  Edited by mrwhatisit

I wish that were the case, mrwhatisit, but I'm thinking more in the EF45 - AU50 range. Obverse details look pretty good to me (except the stars lack detail), but the reverse just doesn't have the sharp leaves of an MS coin to my thinking. I think it's an N3 - saw it, made a lowball bid 2 hours before the end of the auction and won it.

I could see AU-50 or even 53.

pretty decent coin for the $. Looks to have AU sharpness to me. Couple small rim dings but overall pretty nice.

Yeah, I'm wanting to say that the reverse here might be a weak strike rather than light wear. If you send this in to a TPG, it would be interesting to see what it would come back as... I could be wrong though, might also be light wear  |

Nice deal, hopefully there isn't any hidden issues when you get it.
There is multiple spots that are concerning though.

AU55 or MS61. I'm looking at the first places you are going to see signs of circulation. the cheek, ear and around the lower edge of the bust. could be lighting hiding some. I'm actually leaning MS61

Looks to have some wear, but pretty color. Probably use a bath. AU55

even if this coin slabbed at a low AU you got a great deal. its border line for slabbing. I guess its about what you intend to do with it, if I was going to turn it around i'd probably slab it and hope for a high AU or low MS grade. not sure however how they would assess the small corrosion spot at K2. I would hope they straight graded it but you never know,

I'll post pics when it arrives. This is one I'll keep, but I keep most of the coins I buy unless I have a dupe. I'm a collector, not a dealer. I was surprised that nobody was bidding on this coin. Odd how they slip under the radar sometimes. Including my bids, there were three bids on this coin.
