Guess the Grade (GTG) - 1900 Lafayette Dollar REVEALED
Hi CU,
I picked up several commemoratives yesterday, including the Lafayette dollar below. As I purchased them online, I'd be interested in thoughts and grade guesses on this:
Thanks,
Tim

Really lovely clean Lafayette... AU 58, I think I see minimal rub on Washington's cheek and some evidence of brief circulation in the fields

I have had similar come back "AU Details, Cleaned"- which I hope it does not.

Love the toning and originality. I'll guess either a 58 or 63.

Wow, that’s an unusual grade for an attractive coin!

And, a rather rare grade. There are 434 graded AU58 and 591 graded MS62, but only 62 graded MS60.

You don't see many 60's. Beautiful coin! 👍

Can you explain why it didn’t grade higher?

Thanks,
Tim

That is a gorgeous coin. Even being a 60 that piece has great eye appeal. I’ve been looking for one for a few months now. Many of them are unattractive regardless of grade IMO
