Wow. Beautiful coin. I'll bet it shimmers with a variety of irridescent colors under a strong light, and I imagine you must relish looking at it.

So what if you paid too much. It's only money.

I'm not a Bust expert, but I would guess XF40.

I'm not a Bust expert, but I would guess XF40.

The details are much stronger than a 40, K6AZ. I see some EF and AU characteristics to this coin, but I would would give it a net grade of EF 45 - with very strong eye-appeal. I would expect to pay an AU 55 price for it.

I agree. I see some xf and au details as well. So I'll change my thing to xf45.

I was gonna say VF35 to EF40, but that's probably a bit low. Put me down for EF45. Nice coin.

Edit: maybe AU. It's late. I'm tired.

EF-45, maybe AU-50. It's hard to tell from the scan.

XF45 sounds about right but if there is luster under the toning I would say AU50 maybe even 53 if it really sparkles. mike

I would go closer to AU 53/55

Beautiful coin.

For me, from a technical point of view EF-40. The coin has wear but I can easily see someone paying a premium for this one.

I too would put it into the middle AU area (53/55).

Great looking coin. I wish it were in my collection, even if it was for more money than AU55.

XF45......maybe AU50 weak strikes make 38's a little hard to grade sometimes but your coin is not bad. Nice find!

Too much wear for AU (especially obverse hair). XF45 at best, but probably XF40.

It's too bad there isn't a little "O" mint mark on the front. You'd have a major rarity.

It's in an ANACS EF 45 holder - I paid $283 so I guess I did like it.

Since I was the first one to get the grade correct, I'll be expecting you to ship the coin to me. Thanks again for your great giveaway!
