What do you think about this coin in a PCGS XF45?

In hand the coin has above average luster (even for a low AU) and nice original color.

    Strange...I see the pix okay. Let's try this again now that I re-sourced the pix.

    I can see them now.

    It does look like a nice original coin. The marks, particularly on the face and around the date, would be too distracting for me to buy it.

    Tough to read the luster and color from that photo, but those are virtually "a dime a dozen", and I personally would wait for one without a big mark on the face.

    Xf45 on gold dollars means a coin with the high points smoothed and no luster...a dirty look. I think yours is Au on luster but the chatter is above and beyond normal xf wear and was net graded down. Don't likey too moch these really are loupe coins and chatter like this , lost on a larger naked eye coin is more damaging to eye appeal
