I just got it in the mail this morning and haven't taken it out of the plastic yet.
The pictures are a little dark, but I wanted to show the proof like fields.
When I get back home I will post more pictures.
Tell me what you think and maybe a grade guess.

It looks OK to me. I do not see hairlines indicating cleaning.

Prooflike fields and needle-sharp strikes are normal for this type (but not earlier types).

Grade? I would say at least AU, possibly better.

With the coin in full light and some edge pictures.
You can see some very light lines from an old cleaning.

HI.

I don't see any cleaned signs on the pictures.

This picture made me think it was cleaned, but it was probably just a bad picture.

It's now $1,821.50 with 3½ days to go.

I'll guess $2500-up and it will sell to a buyer in Russia. unsure.gif
