I am going to submit this coin to PCGS.

Anyone care to guess what they will grade it?

    If it doesn't get BBed, I say AU50.

    From the picture does it look like it can be body bagged? If so why?

    It looks as if there's a been a light cleaning.
    Prost!

    Why step over the dollar to get to the cent? Because it's a 55DDO.

    Possible, but coin is better in hand with light steel gray toning.

    Great taler. I agree that it probably had a light cleaning, but PCGS might see it as market acceptible. It is tough to tell from the pictures. If it goes, I will guess MS-61 (of course to be taken with a grain of salt in light of my grossly wrong grade guesses in other posts).

    58 and it looks terrific

    I'll also bet on 50, but I'll concede that it would grade higher if it were a Bust Dollar.

    As for the bodybag, it seems unlikely based on the picture.

    I also thought AU58 on first glance.
    The meaning of life ? I don't know but I am sure that coins have something to do with it.

    It's got a certain drool factor.

    Looks AU to me, too.

    It will probably end up in a body bag for the two puncture marks in the victim's throat.
