This is a 1887 That I just bought. Paid good money for it.
Can you help me guess the Grade on this coin.
I bought this coin at the coin show in Paris
This coin is not cleaned, I had Pros in the show look at it but they are not aware of of PCGS Grading.
I have cleaned this coin in boiling water.
Some Pros told me that it is a Proof, any comments ??
I have submitted this coin to PCGS and I will post tomorrow the PCGS Grade, How close can you get ?
thx to everybody on this forum.

Wow, Im afraid of starting another proof non proof argument....but, I have never seen such detail in the eagle's breast before, and the square denticles would make me wana guess proof, but it looks a little to circulated, and edge doesnt stand out as much as it should...

Overall...
PR62

But that is a LARGE guess

Coin looks like an AU58 to me. Doesnt look like a proof to me. Just doesnt look like it has any mirrors at all. Even a lightly circulated proof would be very reflective.

Thats what was throwing me off...I finally decided on Proof, becuase I thought I could make out a few die polish lines to left on the reverse...I think the mirrors are there, but you have to use your creativity...

AU58

It's not a VAM 9 so it can't be a proof. Looks to be a strong AU coin though.
