Would you please look at this dollar and give me an opinion as to grade. Coin is in and old PCGS holder and I will reveal their grade later. Thanks.

VF30 to EF40 would be my guess. The photos are a bit blury and not quite magnified enough.

Is the image accurate? If so, the surfaces look "burnt". I will guess EF details, but I don't trust the "look" from these images.

VF-20, lightly cleaned long ago. I had one years ago that had AU sharpness, but was also lightly cleaned that got a body bag. I sold it to a dealer as soon as I put it out in my case for $500. I told him it's background and we agreed. He said he had a customer was working on a raw type set of moderate cost and that this coin would fit into it.

Coin is a VF35 according to PCGS. One problem with the dollar is that someone messed with the slab surface right over where the obverse shield is and that is why the picture is a little fuzzy. Plus the picture did not transfer well in detail. This is compromized by some indeterminate monkey business in the shield (probably from an old cleaning). Therewise the coin has XF detail.

 

I do not think that the coin is burnt or smoked, just dirty. The coin needs to soak it in soap and water but I won't chance cracking it just for that.
