Sitting here with my PCGS-40 in hand and thinking - TWIN!

AU-50?

Edit:

Really an incredible coin. You're lucky to own her!

It's looking like a nice crusty XF45 to me!

XF45+ with a beautiful reverse!

45-50 depending on luster.

BTW I've found it tough to get a nice 1838 in AU.

Sure is a lot of meat on that coin. I'm torn between XF45 and AU50.

I am hard pressed to see much wear on the coin. So, it's gotta be a 50 something in my mind. It is a crusty and it would depend on the luster, so I'll say 53 or 55. 53.

This is a tough one for me. Haven't studied the series at all.

I'd venture to guess AU55 though.....and a green bean!

I don't know the series, but I like it as a XF45.

Thanks for all the guesses and the nice comments ... coin22lover nailed it early ... it is indeed a crusty EF45

I like the coin a lot, and I do feel lucky to call her mine. She has some claims to AU, including what I think is enough muted luster under the crust, but I think PCGS got it right, even though I feel AU50 could probably be right too, depending on the day.

I like it- these seem to be very strictly graded and far more difficult to find nice like this one than a Bust Half
