Hold your horses. Things may not always be as they appear.
I did some digging on this coin and found that the OP picture may be enhanced a bit, or that the following image may just be cr@p.

I'm reversing my judgement that this coin is wholly "LOVELY"

Please also look at this image, if you can, befofe making a guess. Soory for the small size of the image, but its the best I can get.

I see wear on hair, Liberty and reverse bow. AU58. Spotchy toning and fingerprint
don't enhance the look for me.

You know, I usually wouldn't reveal the grade on these "Guess the Grade" thread this early, but I feel that this coin is not as it appears.

The coin grades NGC-65BN. This coin has a killer strike, and essentially mark-free surfaces.
The die crack, noting it a Hoard coin, adds to the appeal, but I feel the colors are enhanced and manipulated.

There are better 1820's out there, and I should have been more patient before throwing this coin up here.

If you guys/gals disagree with this most recent assumption of mine, please explain it to me, because I feel embarrassed posting this coin here.

First picture I'd have guessed MS64BN.

Second picture I'd have guessed MS62BN.

The colors could have been manipulated.

MS64BN but I'm not crazy about the fingerprints. All other attributes however are great.

The die crack doesn't -- in and of iteself -- indicate this is from the Hoard. There are a few exampes, including in mint state, from this date that weren't in the hoard. However, the very typical blue-green toning makes the coin virtually instantly identifiable as one of the Randall coins....Mike

I grade it lovely, too, but the prints really make me sad.

I can picture some big fumblefingered buffoon, eating fried chicken and just finger-finger-fingering that poor coin.
