    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 can’t get lower than 58 as my guess.

    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.

    I think AU58; just a little high point rub and looks like full luster in the fields.

    Well, seems like I'm an old fart and need to update my grading standards - LOL!!!

  • bfjohnsonbfjohnson Posts: 541 ✭✭✭

    MS 61 is my guess. Could easily go 58 also.

  • MilesWaitsMilesWaits Posts: 5,490 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Love the Indian!! I have no idea of the grade, but...
    What a wide variety of opinions for what seems to be very good photos!??

    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.

  • AzurescensAzurescens Posts: 2,853 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I feel confident this is an MS60-61 that would bean.

    It's a nice coin.

  • BryceMBryceM Posts: 11,893 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I’m in the 55-58 range.

  • JonBrand83JonBrand83 Posts: 490 ✭✭✭✭✭

    For me, the pink areas = evident luster

    Looks like a 55 to me.... I am amazed at the range of estimates - from 45 to 62. Cheers, RickO

    soft 58. Temporarily out of indica, it's inconceivable to me that it would grade unc. :#:#

    So far XF45 up to the 60’s!
    Wow!
    What a diversity of opinions about on one very good photograph of one very beautiful Indian. This reinforces why I stick with bullion pricing.
    And I do have a few $10 Indians! Graded.
    Keep it up troops.

    Interesting range.

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

    I'd guess low AU. It looks too beat up to be MS.

    62/63 but I tend to be overly optimistic.

  • lkeneficlkenefic Posts: 8,804 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I'm leaning towards 58 with numerous hits... sort of "baggy".
