    Looks like a nice XF/AU and already comes with album toning. Spots near the stars may be a concern.

    I’m not so sure they straight graded it but it looks like it could go 61

    The "spots" near the stars are laminations, which did not prevent it from receiving a straight grade.

    Looks nice, perhaps a very old cleaning and has been retoning for a long time.
    I'll guess AU50/shot 53.

    Nice toning with overall even wear of the high points...AU50 IMO

  • messydeskmessydesk Posts: 20,219 ✭✭✭✭✭

    AU61.

    I'm not picking up on any wear, but it seems to have an unsettlingly coherent patch of hairlines on the left reverse that could net it an AU55 or a body bag.

    At any rate, it's a great coin for a 7070.

    Very nice seated dollar, would love have a nice piece like this.

    Would send in clueless on what they would grade - AU58 at very least my wager.

    I’m more concerned about the reverse toning...

    Color looks off, but maybe not enough to net grade it. IMO into a regular holder, but a small penalty to the assigned grade 53 range

  • tommy44tommy44 Posts: 2,312 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I like it a lot. AU53-55?

    I like the coin but the two spots (corrosion?) between stars 4 and 5 are a bit concerning.

    If those two things on the obverse are really laminations and not blobs of gunk then I'll say AU58. Beautiful coin

    Nice coin. Could see it in a 61 holder.

  • JBNJBN Posts: 1,889 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Nice photos. Good look on obv. Rev has what I read as die polish lines toned to give an interesting look.
    AU50.

  • CryptoCrypto Posts: 3,830 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Au58, 55 if completely dead

    Nice coin for an album. AU53. But I don;t know much - my first guess, before you said it was straight graded, was genuine.

    Was it in a fire? the look is just a bit off. Looks like some old plastic by the stars at 10:00 maybe just me..

    EF/AU; I see very little original luster.

  • AUandAGAUandAG Posts: 24,884 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Wholesome and meaty but way too dark for my tastes.....approaching terminal.

    I can’t say for sure that I can’t see any rub from the pics. I’m thinking 61.
    Very nice old piece.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    AU55... I think the tarnish on the reverse may be hiding some surface issues up around the head and the eagle's right wing. Cheers, RickO

    Then it should be submitted to CAC as soon as possible.
