I'll let everyone else pick it apart.
I like the coin, and that really does depend on the price.
AU.
I won't specify more because the image doesn't really allow me to see much in the way of luster and I'd like some angled shots to assess the crust better.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, evn when irrefutably accurate.
Based on the first pictures... AU... 50.....in hand, maybe XF45....Cheers, RickO
Going to go with XF details, looks like a big hit on the shield.

I have never seen an SLQ toned like that, so I'm not sure how it got this way. As such, I don't know if it would straight grade. If it did, it's a high end AU with a full head. My money would be on details.
AU58. I like the coin.
I don't like the coin.
It looks cooked to me and very unnatural.
I would be very surprised if it straight graded.
I may be wrong but without seeing it in hand, unless it was very cheap, I would pass.
The coin really shows the overdate well. The separation between the 7 and 8 really can be seen.
The grade is iffy. I don't know what to think about the "mottling" surface.

Certainly a nice find, congrats. Looks like it got pretty hot at some point.
A rare find and unique looking. Looks like it was in a fire. Au53 FH damaged
AU 55 with questionable color.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

I agree with Full Head (FH). @Walkerfan I agree with Questionable color... does anyone else dispute FH?

I like the over date, do not like the toning, and I am seeing some type of hit on the eagle's wing
Like most others have noted, the overdate is clear, the diagnostics for the overdate are good (reverse E in the gown, floating left foot), but the color is a distraction. I've just never seen an SLQ toned like this and I don't like it. It would make more sense that someone tried to hide altered surfaces with that color, but the color in itself is not doing that coin any favors.
On a positive, I cannot see why anyone wouldn't consider this a Full Head coin. I've seen far less detailed heads in FH holders.
Results: They did NOT consider this a FH coin by giving it a designation of PCGS #5726 (and not #5727)... but perhaps because they also gave it a 92-Cleaned AU Details grade, it is not worthy of a #5727? has anyone encountered something like this before: a definite FH coin but does not get an FH designation because it is 92-Cleaned Details? Rules state the coin must be at least AU to be able to receive an FH designation - which it is. I am unsure if a DETAILS grade nix's the FH.

I'm pretty sure (but not 100%) that designations are not assigned to Genuine coins.
Correct, a cleaned slq will not get a FH designation.
