Opinions please?

I know these pics aren't great, I'll post some better ones later...

no clue about these things. Is it really a bit darker or is the color true on the photos? How about somewhere around choice AU? Did I say I have no clue?

Ummmmmm cleaned XF.

Hard to split hairs with the difference between "Trace of wear and lightly worn" with the pic, I'll assume there is no luster left and give it an XF.

I also hate grading these things. I'll go AU-50, but I haven't a clue.

Nice coin though.

My guess is that the coin has a nice original patina, and there is only a TINY trace of wear on the diamond. Typical mushy strike obverse from a clashed die. The coins is strong AU. It could holder AU62 if it has luster not revealed in the images. JMO

shows no hint of luster so like it was dipped/stripped of any original surfaces
once or twice?

These things are next to impossible to grade. Having said that, I'll WAG AU-50, likely messed with.

I'll just say "I really like it"

Type2 · March 30, 2007 11:01AM

Needs a little dip I will go with MS62 type-1

that coin screams counterfeit, it just has that look. I doubt it is genuine

cmerlo1 · March 30, 2007 1:44PM

EF-45...something doesn't look right, though. Cleaned, maybe?

beep · March 30, 2007 1:48PM

looks really nice to me.
MS64

au55

itsnotjustme · March 30, 2007 6:44PM

XF45 and probably cleaned.

ChangeInHistory · March 30, 2007 11:10PM

Cleaned AU-50

poorguy · March 31, 2007 1:02AM

AU50. Strong detail but definite rub on the higher points and a flat, non-existant luster. Dull-Drab-lacking luster is very common on trimes even in MS grades. I can't be sure if it's been cleaned or not from the pics but I'm seeing some stuff on there that would have been removed by a recent cleaning so it appears to have at least toned over if it was cleaned in the past.
