I picked this beauty up from my good friend Ray Hinkelman at Eye Appealing Coins. If your looking for nice type coins, Ray's your guy. Guess the grade. Ready, set, GO!

53-55
I would give her an AU53 based on the (apparent) wear on the nose, curls over the ear.

Gotta agree with 53. 55 wouldn't shock me. 50 would.
That's gorgeous and looks to be an easy AU 55.

I think 55. Very nice look. (If not for the wear, I would go higher!) LOL

Interesting coin. That is some lovely coloration.
I'm in the AU-50 to 53. There's enough apparent high-point wear and field scruff that higher would surprise me, a little. Although I guess 55 wouldn't be out of the question. Plenty of luster suggests it's not lower.

Lots of luster remaining but pretty evident wear on high points. Colorful toning may mute the luster somewhat. 53 would be my guess. Beautiful pickup!

Au 50/55. fwiw
I’m in the AU53 camp but a bump to 55 for nice eye appeal would be OK.

A lot of great guesses! Those of you (and it was a majority) who guessed AU53 were correct! The coin has a small amount of luster on the obverse, but it really pops on the reverse. If this was a split grade, I would give it a 53 on the obverse and a 58 on the reverse, netting a 55. I think from a technical perspective, the coin is under graded. Alas, we know the obverse gets the most love in the grading room. In any case, the grade is almost irrelevant considering how pretty it is, IMHO. I generally try to stick with MS coins, but I had to have this one.
Thanks for playing!
I seriously thought it would get a color bump to 55 myself!
