Why did somebody have to clean it!

A nice little ding on the wing of the eagle, too.

I want to sell what would would have been a really nice coin. What grade and description would you put on the 2x2, and what kind of asking price?

OMG I feel your pain. That coin had to be MS before it was harshly cleaned.
I see toes on the right foot and a very nice face and chest, certianly AU at worst.
Pricing? Heck you know a lot more about that than I do.
Talk about cleaned, my brother-in-law showed me a couple of SLQ's he has
and they shined like brand new chrome (and AG-G). Looked like someone buffed them with a wheel.
I didn't know what to say?

Now that I look closer I see the shield is pretty worn.
Rest in Peace

Yeah, these are stronger struck coins so the rules that typically apply to later date SLQ's do not apply to them. XF+ details, cleaning and ding. Asking price maybe 40-50% of normal.

Wow, XF Details? I thought it might make AU Details.

Dang shame about the cleaning - that really makes me sick. She's still pretty, though.

Yeah, looks like XF45 because of the wear on the shield and the leg. If a later date coin came with this detail (especially an S mint), it'd easily be AU details.
Rest in Peace

I'd call if XF-45 details at $80. It's still a very nice looking coin!
