Would appreciate some thoughts on this recent acquisition. I'm not in total agreement with the slab grade.   |

AU55 details however they may have net graded it straight at AU53

This is the type of coin that I'd pay closer to straight-grade prices than details prices if it were in a cleaned holder because it's a great-looking coin despite the old cleaning.

AU-55 lightly cleaned. May straight grade lower depending on how nice the TPG is. Net AU-53 seems fair for this coin it is very appealing. |

Thx all - here is the slab - straight at 50. I paid low XF price for what I felt was 55 or possibly 58. I get the appearance of a cleaning but I'm not convinced it was; coin in hand shows it more as disturbed toning/coloration. If it was cleaned it is old as some have stated. Maybe ANACS did net it down to 50, who knows.  |

if you look at this coins wear there is no way its an AU50 coin leading me to believe that they net graded the coin and put it in a straight holder since the cleaning was not harsh

Probably a net grade, I would detail the coin. Try using it as a toning experiment to make it more original looking.

panzaldi - what is your experience with TPGs regarding cutoff year on net grades? pre-1900 or so? I know trying to guess what a TPG will do is a crap shoot - and so many factors play into a net grade vs. details. But I'm also guessing if this coin was a 1942 Walking that it would have detailed. |
