Unc or AU?

Apologies if this isnt the right venue. Just looking for a 2nd or 3rd opinion. I see some light circ.

Thanks in advance from a paper guy!

    OK, one more question...Is it worth grading? The pull-away effect is really nice.

    Only if it pulls a straight MS grade. image

    Absolutely, yes.

    Many thanks to all. Anyone want to buy a 1779 $55 dollar bill? :-)

    Not worth grading to me. Problems on the obverse. Shine some nice white light on her face and take a straight away picture. It's also just the so so color that really carries no premium these days. In conclusion, even if it grades 63 or 64, it is simply not worth it. I don't think it will grade that.

    I don't know if it's worth grading but I think it's mint state.

    Worth grading to me if only to get approval on the toning. If that's real toning even an AU58 looking like that would be worth more than a regular MS64 coin. I'd agree that it looks unc.



    Might be worth more as an AU55/58 "Everyman" than a MS61-64.

    The toning is real. The elevation toning in Liberty and the "pull away" around the bottom of the '02 and some of the stars looks legit.

    Here are some fresher pics if that helps and y'all are awesome!

    The first coin is circulated with your new images. The 1884, I give it 64 NGC probably 65.

    Bob , My PM seems to be turned on. Sent one to youl



    Wabbit2313 I thought that to start with, its AU, and the 1884 is indeed a 64*!

    I'm not seeing signs of circulation on the 02 "o" . It's got a really wear obverse strike. As was said, hit the cheek with a strong white light and see if it's two toned. I'd encapsulate that expecting MS 63. I'm not a fan of the 1884. Just not for me.
