Stone Mountain,,,Please be opinionated...

The smudge under In of IGWT is on the holder..

The coin appears to be a (possibly/probably) dipped, AU example. My grade guess would be approximately AU53.

From your pictures the coin does look dipped. I would guess the grade as about AU-55.

[Wihlborg]

I would have to agree with the first two opinions of the coin, it does appear to be a dipped mid AU example. However, as AU examples go I don’t think it is a bad looking coin, I have seen much worse.

If you're just looking to complete an affordable commem set then it is all right but it does lack pizzaz and and borders on the blah.

 

Hey, you wanted it between the eyes, Pat.

I expect Nothing less

My first impression was cleaned... but I could go with dipped. Nice details though. Leo

From the pictures, I would say a dipped AU55. Does not impress me much.

 

The Stone Mountain is an inexpensive issue, so look for a nice MS64 as a minimum.

Dipped out. Not much eye appeal.

[Higashiyama]

Let me take a slightly contrarian view -- but keep in mind that this is from the point of view of someone who might actually have a reason to look for a non-mint state coin!

 

Assuming that AU53 is a fair "numerical" assessment, I like the coin. Unlike many dipped out coins, where you end up with a boring uniformity of across all the surfaces, this coin has reasonably nice contrast in the devices. The eagle on the reverse, and Generals Lee and Jackson on the obverse appear fairly bold. Personally, I prefer the frosty appearance of the coin to dipped out coins that end up looking "polished, but without the hairlines"

 

(PS - in my collection of circulated and odd-grade commemoratives, I have an Oregon Trail grading PCGS MS61 !!! It is a poster child for the please don't dip movement. It is an instructive coin, but hard to believe it made it into any slab)

[JRocco]

In my opinion, some coins are fine in a white state or after a proper dip, but some coins should have some oomph to em if you know what I mean. Most commems fall in this category.

[texasrichard]

I'd go with the "dipped" crowd. For what it is though, I kind of like it.

 

What is the mark at 9:00 on the obverse rim?

[Bruceswar]

Slow down with the dipped out comments. Yes the coin has been dipped at one point, but you have to remember this is a scan. AU coin still but I bet in hand it is nice.
