nice well struck example. AU 55 as suggested would not be a surprise. I love the look and color but tend to wonder about some of the black spots there could be PVC on the surfaces. I think I would do an acetone dip before submitting the coin for grading.

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

the skin concerns me though...not even sure it would grade
looks like it was very lightly polished and wiped with woodstain or something
please update this thread if it's off to see the wizards of grading oz

My thoughts too. The details are solid choice AU. Surfaces aren't quite free of concerns. Decent album coin.
