Help Grade this 1860 3 cent

jhuberdude

This 3 center looks pretty good to me, although it is so toned I have a hard time giving it a grade. I hope these pictures are good enough.
Just wondering if I should have it slabbed.

Very hard to tell from these pics but I'd say AU55.

Hard to tell the way the surfaces are colored. AU-50?

I'd be interested to know the source of that unusual appearance; it could determine whether or not it gets bodybagged.

Umm.. hard one AU-53 I'll guess.

looks like it's been in a minilla envelope... for years.

In was in a manila envelope for years alright. Good call Coinfreak. Ziggy, why do you think it would get bodybaged? Too toned?

straight vf++. not worth slabing.

Unless the toning is hiding marks/scratches, I'd say it's a solid AU53
