This one lives in my 7070. I'm curious about how you would grade it - but more importantly your overall feelings about it.

    XF45...love the date. Can't tell if it's been cleaned or not...might just be the lighting. Even if it has been cleaned, it still looks attractive to me.

    I'll go one step further AU50.....can't tell if she has been cleaned from the photos.

    On second look....XF45 max.


    Nice one!!!

    O108, methinks. A cleaning is apparent - hairlines from a wipe in the fields. XF40

    A nice coin for a 7070
    congrats

    1822 O-108 R-3

    EF Details Net VF-35 due to old cleaning showing many hairlines, otherwise nice grey original look.

    The struck through errors on the reverse at the C in the denomination is interesting and I would want to see this coin in hand to see exactly what took place during the minting process.

    QN

    Edited to say that on a second look, I think it is damage at the C in the denomination...

    Definitely not "scrubbed" but possibly a light cleaning. XF45 details.

    The coin has been cleaned, and there are two scratches on the reverse by 50 C. 1822 is a tough date.

    OK, maybe not scrubbed, but how hard do you have to rub silver to get those kind of hairlines?
    I have never "wipped" a coin, so I don't know.

    XF45 and very nice (most of these boneheads wouldn't know a nice coin if it hit them over the head).

    She's a solid XF, easily a 40. Obviously cleaned but color suggests 'twas done long ago. I like her.
