This coin was formerly PCGS certified, before it was cracked and placed into my 7070 album. Yes, I'm addicted to crack. Slab crack that is. This coin has a lot of remaining luster, and just a slight weakness in strike.

If it wasn't for the slight wear on the breast this coin work grade MS. I have to say AU-58.

I think that it probably was graded AU55
It appears to be more RED than RED/BROWN
A super nice coin for a type set indeed.

You guys are pretty good I must say. All really close, but congrats to wheezydog: PCGS gave it an AU-55. :-)
