Columbian Exposition

This raw coin was marked as AU50 by the seller. He is much better at grading than I am but
I think it looks better than a 50. What say you? Am I just being hopeful?

    Just barely AU50, if that. Looks cleaned.

    The hair curl nearest the face is flat and the ribbing on the sails is missing in several places; AU50 is probably correct.
