That's a great design, and a tough type to find in original better circ. This piece has that much going for it. I don't like the dark, dark toning, though, and the fingerprinty marks don't help it. I don't know about other people, but for me that coin would be in a price range where I need to really, really, really like the coin to buy it -- and that one doesn't make it. It's too bad, too.
I'm guessing AU 50, as far as that goes.

interesting perspective, since I really do like the dark toning and think the fingerprint marks add character

The holder is beat up, the reverse color is nice to me and grades higher than the obverse by at least 5 points

too difficult for me to grade from the pic.
very nice coin though.
