    no clue about these things. Is it really a bit darker or is the color true on the photos? How about somewhere around choice AU? Did I say I have no clue?

    Hard to split hairs with the difference between "Trace of wear and lightly worn" with the pic, I'll assume there is no luster left and give it an XF.

    I also hate grading these things. I'll go AU-50, but I haven't a clue.

    Nice coin though.

    My guess is that the coin has a nice original patina, and there is only a TINY trace of wear on the diamond. Typical mushy strike obverse from a clashed die. The coins is strong AU. It could holder AU62 if it has luster not revealed in the images. JMO

    shows no hint of luster so like it was dipped/stripped of any original surfaces
    once or twice?

    These things are next to impossible to grade. Having said that, I'll WAG AU-50, likely messed with.

    that coin screams counterfeit, it just has that look. I doubt it is genuine

    EF-45...something doesn't look right, though. Cleaned, maybe?

    Cleaned AU-50

    AU50. Strong detail but definite rub on the higher points and a flat, non-existant luster. Dull-Drab-lacking luster is very common on trimes even in MS grades. I can't be sure if it's been cleaned or not from the pics but I'm seeing some stuff on there that would have been removed by a recent cleaning so it appears to have at least toned over if it was cleaned in the past.
