Ebay gamble (Caballito Peso). Any guess on grade?

This one looks like it has some potential. Hard to tell from the photography, but looks to be at least XF, probably AU. The reverse definitely looks UNC... it's the obverse that's unknown.

Rims look nice and clean.

What are the key wear points of this design?

I don't have any of these in my collection, so thought I'd go for a (relatively) inexpensive one. My concern is that it could be cleaned, but there's a return privilege.

    I like the design around the rims similar to the Standing Liberty quarters. It really gives the coin class.

    It looks EF45-ish.

    Key wear points? I don't really know, but I would say the top edge of the eagle's wings, certainly, and probably Lady Libertad and her horse's heads, the lady's breast and right knee, and maybe the torch.

    I have a few gold Peso's with more wear on the Eagle & snake graded higher then EF.

    I'd grade this AU 53-55.

    That is a least a AU coin and will have to be tilted in the light to see if the breast and knee have any wear. The snake going across the eagle on the reverse also needs to be studied. These coins are low relief so its hard to tell from pics. As long as you pay VF money and the coin has not been cleaned you will be fine.
