    I’m also at AU55, but was expecting to see pictures of a PL example.😉

    I'm gonna say 53 for the rub, but if the luster is there, the 55's take it......

    Yes, it is an 1834 graded NGC MS-63 PL. Maybe I did post it here, or you might have seen it on other forums.

    Although, I did buy it from Heritage, so you might have seen it there ;)

    The hair looks a bit more worn to me. Lightning I guess.

    Yes, I think the differences in lighting are making the contrast look different. Thanks.

    I personally think this coin is absolutely undergraded. It should be a 55.

    Is it the hit on the hat, and in the field right above the hat, the reason for the 50?

    whoa, not even 3 hrs passed - you should let it run at least 12 hrs, up to about 24hrs to let others join in, jmho.

    I would have gone 45 actually so the grade doesn't surprise me. Nice half period.
