    Very nice Brian

    I will guess 55

    Hard to gauge luster. I'd guess 53 obv / 58 rev = net 55, maybe closer to a 53.

    Another nice pickup. Love the golden halos on the obverse. I'll guess AU55 as well.

    AU 55 is correct. Good guesses

    I thought about expressing an opinion and never got around to doing so before the grade was posted. My initial concern was the level of rub...especially on the obverse at the portrait. This in part exemplifies the challenge in grading from an image. But the greater challenge is finding the right coin with a timeless look. An opinion as to a coin's grade may change over time... It is the same coin but perhaps our subjective nature in terms of what is important has become more refined to appreciate what a coin within a series should look like at a specific grade. Whether you see this as a 55 or 58 is far less significant than identifying and purchasing the right coin. And it is great to see when that happens.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
