    AU-53. It’s a lot of luster, but surfaces are a bit chippy.

    It is my considered (and expert) opinion that you should send it to me for further evaluation. I promise you'll get it back... :#

    I'm in the mid AU camp. Appears to have luster, and a fair amount. Not much wear, but some scruff. I'd think 55 if the luster is solid.

    These images are similar to trueviews which mute luster. But me personally the mostly clear feilds on this coin look to me like they have a ton of luster in which you arent seeing. I would guess this coin has medium luster.

    Looks very similar to the AU55 I received back earlier this year... These are a little hard to judge since they do not generally come with sharp lines in the detail. Lines may possibly be a bit sharper but at the cost of additional hits in the fields. Admittedly I was hoping for a little better grade but not worth sending back in.

    What a diversity of opinions about on one very good photograph of one very beautiful Indian. This reinforces why I stick with bullion pricing.

    Interesting range.

    I'm at 57 by wear, net down for a number of notable minor to moderate scratches and marks to 54.
