Back on the "other" thread about this dollar, I mentioned that I thought it would grade, and I still do. The TPG's don't get too excited about a few hairlines,or if the coin is a bit bright, they will just net it down a bit.Contact marks, if not too heavy, are generally overlooked since these coins are big, weighty, and were slung around quite a bit. I was aware of that today, as I re-photo'd my 1846-- these babies are hefty! Now, if it really has that much luster on it, a 58 grade would not be out of the question, IMO. Looks like you got a really, really good deal on this one. I'm excited to see more photos, and how it grades out.

The dull grey around the periphery is actually a nice reflective gold toning. I can't get these photos right for anything!

Dude.I think it looks great and I really see no evidence of dipping or cleaning.I would say AU 56 and it really is impressive.Nice find.It really is hard to find them with a full head.Usually the face is obliterated and I think you found a really good example.

The majority of "chatter" to the right of Liberty's staff is actually abrasions in the toning, not damage to the coin. If I were to sit it on a window sill for a while I bet it would tone nice and even and those marks would disappear.
