Thoughts on a technical grade? I assume the scratches are on the holder.
Eye appeal?

AU grade.

Agree. The pics are lousy but good enough to rule out a MS grade.

Is the toning weird or is just my eyes?

What about the toning, though? Cleaned at an earlier stage? Dipped? Eye appeal?

Yes, probably re-toned from an old dipping, but no big deal because most 'white' old coins have been dipped once or twice before.

What does that mean, then... that it is "market acceptable?" It won't body bag a coin like this?

My thoughts are the same with regard to exposure. It probably doesn't represent the coin very well.
That said though, I like my seated coins to be a bit crustier. This one looks like it was cleaned
multiple times.
Technical 55.
Well, just Love coins, period.
The actual grade is PCGS AU-55.
Can a coin this "flashy" (obviously dipped) still come back with a grade?

Not sure that I follow you?
It already did. PCGS graded it as a 55.
