Found this today and had one of my collector buddies. Take a look. It's got a few things going on with it. Seems it is a toned offset, possibly mid to high 60s? This is my first post here. I have lots of questions with other coins coming momentarily.🤫

Nice color and texture. How is the reverse?

To CCF! It's lightly circulated. It would grade somewhere in the AU range.

Given the images posted, I'm thinking AU58. Would be a decent album hole filler until better comes along.

a coin can be circulated and still be MS. I despise grading these. I see a hit on the forehead and maybe in front of the mouth in the right field. I can't tell there is wear on the coin as the there is too much glare. there appears to be some rub on the reverse on both sides of the motto and I'm not sure whats going on on the obv field from K2-K4. less light would help. don't use overhead light

what are folks seeing here that is certain wear from circulation?

without better photos I'm at AU58 or MS63

I don't see any wear on the high points. A few marks will hold it to MS-65RB.

I suppose you're right. Who can really say on something like this.

Wear is evident on the rims, cheek, memorial columns, steps and fields.

This coin is definitely circulated. You can see rub and light wear, on the high points.
