I'll be the first... I say AU55

Great coin and congrats on an awesome addition to your collection!

I can't tell, but it's nice. A really great slider or MS? Hmm.

I'll guess 58. No, wait- I'll agree with the AU55.




Guess the grade on mine.



I used to have another 1881 in AU58.

I'll go AU55, but wouldn't have a problem with it in an AU58 holder either.

Nice AU-58.

It would not surprise me, however, if this was in a 61 or 62 holder because of the nice luster but with a small amount of "cabinet friction."

Hard to tell from that pic!

Wiscane

I think I got it MS61 ?

Bithrate

The AU58's have it!

Very nice coin, BR. Great strike.

Bithrate

Thanks dpool.

I noticed some sort of doubling in the wold "America" - most prominent with the second A. Anyone know how common that is with this series?

Thanks

Aaah- I should have stuck with my original guess.

'Tis a nice 58.
