Picked her up yesterday as bullion.
Lots of luster, a lil' dirty. Would you agree AU55, maybe 58? Higher or lower?

LOL. I hope that's a net grade. On a bad day. Up hill in the snow

AU details, cleaned.
I knew it would happen.
Dozens of BST deals completed, including: kalshacon, cucamongacoin, blu62vette, natetrook, JGNumismatics, Coinshowman, DollarAfterDollar, timbuk3, jimdimmick & many more
Hard to determine without examining the coin if it would grade or not.
Technical grade would be AU 50/53.
You heard me.
Ditto the straight 53. Those hairlines really are consistent with actual pocket wear.
Agree. Folks are way too quick to say, "cleaned" about coins.
If it were a Large Cent, it would be referred to as "harshly cleaned".
And if it were a pepperoni pizza, it would be referred to as "delicious"
but it's not either one of those things, is it?

Too easy to 'hip shoot' a verdict. Cheers, RickO

Funny!
I would say cleaned too. Maybe it is just the photo lighting, but it looks a little too shiny for a circulated coin.
Hard to tell from the photos if the lines are proper random but I'd feel good about that one.
AU 53.
Basic $5 & $10 Libs are fun!
i think the light could be affecting people's opinions.
when i saw the obverse, i thought, cleaned. but, when i saw the reverse i thought, that coin *may* grade 55 cause those hairlines could be just circulation wear being exaggerated by the photos. this is why you can't grade from photos.

I get an AU53-55-ish vibe.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
The rev. looks to be 50-55 but without the cloth impairment.
True View pics might clear this up.
I'd be good with 55 wiped. The cartwheel and frost is original and there is plenty of it. But there are a few hairlines.
