I sent this in for a friend.
Try and guess the grade before you look up the cert #
I'm not a toner kind of guy...but I thought what the heck.
If you look it up...did you have the same out loud reply as me?
REALLY?
Thanks for looking!

It is not an attractive coin to my eye. The uniform reverse toning is OK if you enjoy toning, but that splotchy multi-color obverse is just horrible IMO.

boy I hate TV's to grade from. I'm betting the coin looks different in hand than this but the obv is on the low end of the eye appeal chart. if I was grading only by the reverse i'd call it AU58. the obv is showing signs of circulation plus add the eye appeal is pretty bad i'll drop it to AU55. it if is MS there is no way I would pay MS $$ for it

It takes 12 seconds to block out the cert.

that middle band is not even close to split. guessing what any of the TPG's are going to call on that designation is a crap shoot unless its undisputedly separated
