Picked up this raw Seated dollar on Day 1 of our show in Fresno, CA. Weight is 26.62 grams and everything looks legit for this example. What are your thoughts on grade and quality? Thanks!   |

AU53. Superb strike. I agree that an old dip stripped the luster from this coin. However it has AU level of wear imho. Likely to go into a straight holder but always a gamble. Surfaces not really original.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Very little wear, AU-50 with average eye appeal. With all the grime in the protected areas, I'd say straight grade.

AU50. the tough call would be how a TPG would assess the cleaning. |

EF 40, market acceptable cleaning, probable straight grade from a TPG. |

Has had a light clean, long since evenly patinated over.
Nice coin anyway, I would buy it, despite the clean.
I agree, may possibly straight grade at
AU-50.
