@Zohar , your eyes are correct, imho your piece is way superior, the 55 looks to me a 50, and that's being nice, so you can easily rest assured yours is the highest graded -

Incredible addition, Zohar. Eye appeal far exceeds the AU-55 example. These early date pieces are amongst my favorites in your catalogue. -

I agree with @coinkat 's hypothesis. If the TrueViews are from different "eras" they can also be hard to compare. -

Most of the missing detail on the horse and rider reflect the weak strike. The pattern of wear on both the obverse and reverse, in my view, supports that the coin was weakly struck coin and/or a later die state. Please keep in mind that I am just offering a plausible explanation and basis for the 55 grade. -

Perhaps even though the reverse fields and wear on horse are evident. Thank you, -

In looking at the images, I suspect the 55 has surfaces that gave the coin a bump even though the 53 has the better strike. -

The 53 is topped by one AU-55 graded coin which in my eyes looks lesser - WDYT? -
